Missing Plane and Pilot Located by Civil Air Patrol

[Pumbaa]

OK folks here is a great win! Pilot was found alive by CAP.  Kudos to all involved!  This type of news needs to be repeated in other local press as well.  Releases need to be sent to your local media as well as LE, etc.. The only way to stop the slide of missions is to STOP BEING THE BEST KEPT SECRET!

EXERPT:
A Klamath Falls pilot who crashed his Cessna 182 airplane late Friday night was found alive by Civil Air Patrol pilots. The group launches aircraft to aid in the search of missing pilots and planes...

..His plane's known point on radar was determined and Oregon Emergency Management was notified. the group requested the Civil Air Patrol to launch without delay....

...The mission involved 4 CAP aircraft with about 12 hours of flight, 5 sorties, about 100 man-hours and 17 personnel.

That's a good news story.  It sounds like the pilot was prepared and able to guide the rescuers.
