Maybe a weekend training opportunity for the folks in NY.

Nope, they said it was in the waters of Lake Ontario. Exercise for the Coast Guard, maybe?

Will the drones get an ELT now?

Help me out here. Which ES skilz would we use during this weekend training opportunity? I don't recall seeing anything on a 101 card that deals with finding flying machines at the bottom of a lake with an average depth of 283 feet.

Well.. we did track a 172 to the other end of the Scripps Pier some years back. :)

.. and a guy in an Amphicar helped me triangulate a sunken EPRIB in the San Vicente Reservoir.

That's impressive.
