Mayday in Utah
What I want to know is, how much are they going to charge the
motorglider pilot for the Global Hawk search and rescue team? On Jun 11, 9:22*pm, wrote: Today (June 11) Oakland Center asked the Global Hawk Test Team to help with a Mayday call from a motorglider in Utah. *The team was flying a new Global Hawk somewhat above 50,000 feet north of Edwards AFB and was 8 hours into a 30 hour mission to test the sensor suite when OAK Center made the request. *Center reported a Mayday from a "powered glider with a failed engine" and asked if the Hawk could join in the search and rescue. *Fortunately good news followed that the motorglider had safely landed. You all be careful out there. *We don't fly Hawks every day. *It is better to have a SPOT and/or an ELT. Soar safe, have fun, go fast and far, Jim Payne |
