Title: Missing Aircraft in Minnesota
Post by: ♠SARKID♠ on June 14, 2012, 06:01:42 AM
Search rolling into week two.  MNWG and WIWG teams/aircraft involved.  My ground team is on standby and I'm sending up some staff to assist.

Any updates on this?  I was scheduled to go fly up there today and help, but haven't heard anything.

I heard that there were some weather factors that had planes grounded - perhaps that is still going on?

The mission is still active, MNWG has been requesting relief resources from other wings.
NHQ has been issuing regular press releases.

Beyond that we should leave it to the PIO's and OPSEC.

My information was actually from a couple days ago - from a link on the CAP News site, insinuating that it was released by the PIO FWIW.

Still kicking.  If I had had a ride home, I would have stayed through Tuesday but had to bug out Sunday evening.
