ATTN: Great Basin Glider Pilots: Pilot Missing please help.

Geoff Loyns was flying on Friday and did not get back
to Minden.
There is a full search for him in progress right now.
His last transmission at approx 2:45 Friday stated
he was between
16500 to 17500ft overhead Jannies Ranch heading south
towards the
White Mountains.
Any pilots flying in that area please keep an eye open
for any landed
out glider or wreckage of a glider seen in the area.
Geoff would normally start to head Minden around 4-4:30.
He mentioned that day his intentions were to turn Cero
Gordo Peak on
the south end of the Inyo's.
If anyone sees anything that might help the search
whilst flying in
please contact flight service or try 123.30 or 123.50
to relay
information.
Thanks again anyone who can help or is searching for
Geoff our
thoughts are with him.
Regards
Al
Our thoughts and hopes are with Geoff and all those
searching for him. Please keep us posted.
