It would make a lot more sense to head up towards the Yellowhead if they were on their way to Edmonton. I found it strange from the beginning that they would follow the Trans-Canada to Alberta and then make almost a 90 degree turn rather than taking the more direct route, which also has lower terra...

The photo was looked into further and turned out to be nothing of interest. I believe the search has been concluded until Spring due to the large amounts of snow that has fallen in the area.

The people at Wheeler just heard the plane, they didn't see it. All areas around Wheeler have been searched. We did discuss the possibility of them carrying on to Golden but to clear that next mountain, they would have had to go above 7000 feet and would have shown back up on radar. Sorry for the la...

I called Asulkan and Wheeler, they couldn't release the witness information to me and had already given that info to Parks Canada. Same with the witness at Canyon Hot Springs. We were tying to get in touch with them to ask more specific questions but have so far, not been able to get their informati...

So in conclusion PDW, you’re saying what exactly?

Quite alright, there is a lot of information being provided.

Is Revelstoke Airport unmanned?

Wheeler Hut and surrounding area is being searched today.

I just received this map, it may be helpful.

Thank you for sharing. Yes, the weather is definitely unpredictable in the mountains, one minute it's sunny, and the next minute it can be completely different. I would really like to see the cams for Saturday and am impatiently waiting for them.

Does anyone know which cell towers his phone was detected on? There are numerous towers in Revelstoke, then Telus has towers along the TC highway. Rogers also has a tower in Revelstoke but not along the highway. Talk to them as well. I read that the Telus Fidelity mountain tower picked up his phone...

Does anyone have, or can get the highway cam pic for the approx time in question? If the weather was low as indicated by the folks at the hut, and if he was running low, it would be very easy to make a wrong turn. When you are stressed, time goes weird, so you may think you have flown the Rogers Pa...

I’m unsure if that’s been looked into but I can certainly check. The weather wasn’t great for a few days after they went missing and have heard that quite a bit of snow had fallen. I’m not entirely sure why they stopped searching but I would assume funding had a lot to do with it.

Is this due to the elevation of the trees? Or why don't you believe that?

I guess you have to take witness sightings with a grain of salt. The time of the sighting was 3:30 pm.

The witness at Canyon Springs said the plane was white (but that the weather was bad, and it could have looked white.) The plan was flying very low, just above the tree tops, and was heading East. I am waiting on a time for this sighting. The ping in Revelstoke was at 3:13 pm, you were correct. Snow...

cncpc- Would an icing map of the area help?

Yes, I am waiting on more details. There are so many people involved, and quite a bit of second hand information. I have also asked about the witness account at Canyon Hot Springs, and like you asked if he/she saw the color of the plane, what time it was, etc. I haven't heard if the TSB is involved ...

Can you see any reason for the "erratic" flying over Revelstoke? He tried to land there? You have to bear in mind that flightaware only shows data for about once per minute. Nav Canada might have higher resolution data. Anyway, when looking at the data it just looks like he is circling in a descent...
