Title: Florida Wing REDCAP
Post by: Woodsy on February 11, 2014, 02:22:49 PM
For those who keep up with missions...

Florida Wing has started it's 4th day searching for an overdue aircraft off the coast of Stuart, Fl.  So far, FLWG Teams working with the Martin and St. Lucie Counties Sheriff's Offices and the Coast Guard, have recovered a backpack containing the missing pilots ID, a boot suspected to be his, and another small piece of suspected aircraft debris. 

This mission has generated a lot of media interest.  Below is just one local story.  For many more, google "Martin county missing aircraft."

Appears some debris may have washed up on the beach.
