Previous poster said he/she was being readied for a mission tomorrow?? Why the delays? Curious

There's no delay. Often, military spotters are supplemented with trained civilian volunteers from CASARA units who may only be able to contribute a specific period of time. As well, spotting is a very fatiguing activity so having additional resources available on hand to rotate personnel is important. NOASARA is based out of Thunder Bay so I would imagine that they have already been providing resources and as Moose47 indicates, additional personnel are being brought in as the search continues.

Thanks for info/update. Just thought this story would be more worthy in the media. Only saw it on a local Dryden radio stn. Hope all works out.

It's 22:25 Zulu and there is not a damned word about the crash in any of the mainstream media.
Absolutely pathetic!

In case anyone is interested, our one way tickets to Sioux Lookout on Bearskin are 891.00 bucks a piece. Thankfully, we'll be coming home by Herc.

Cheers...Chris

Efforts Continue To Find Aircraft
Posted by Richard McCarthy on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 am 11:18:43 AM
Efforts are continuing today to find a missing aircraft in Northwestern Ontario. A massive air, water and ground search continues for a Lockhart Air Service aircraft which did not reach it's destination of Cat Lake after leaving Sioux Lookout Friday night. Ground trackers on land and water under the direction of the Nishnawbe Aski Police and OPP are also involved in the huge search for the aircraft and 3 onboard. Derrick Flynn, President of Lockhart Air says the search continued overnight and thanks the coordinators, search teams, local airlines and volunteers for their assistance and continued efforts to find the plane and its occupants.

I hope they find them soon.

As of dark tonight the plane has not been found. 2 Hercs, 1 Griffin, 1 Caravan, 1 Turbo Otter, 1 A-Star and another aircraft that I can't think of have been out searching for the last couple of days with no luck yet. There was 1 pilot and 2 passengers onboard the aircraft. There have been many rumors and speculations about what happened to the aircraft but NOTHING has been proven and the aircraft hasn't been located. Maybe tomorrow.

If it is true that local media hasn't reported on this it is too bad. The more aviators and others that can keep their eyes open the better. Which brings to mind a question: Does flight services relay missing aircraft notice (MANOT) messages to everyone that calls for a briefing/flight plan filing along search routes?

If they don't they definitely should! It couldn't hurt. I'm sure all of the local companies are doing their best to help out and make the search AND rescue successful.


Hopefully everyone makes it out of this alright.

On behalf the missing pilot's family, I would like to say thank you to all who posted for being considerate and discreet. Your posts were helpful and supportive.

The previous post re: elt signal was correct, and the aircraft has been found...no survivors.

My former brother in law was a good and proud pilot, and father of three children. He will be missed terribly.

To those of you involved in the search effort, our heartfelt thanks.

To the families of his two passengers, our deepest condolences.

Missing Aircraft Located Near Cat Lake First Natio
Posted by Mike Ebbeling on Monday, November 9th, 2009 am 6:32:01 AM

3-people have been killed in a plane crash about 20-kilometres outside Cat Lake First Nation.
An official at CFB Trenton says the wreckage was spotted by the crew of a Hercules airplane from the base on Sunday evening.
Search and rescue technicians jumped from a Griffon Helicopter to the scene.
The Lockhart Air Service charter plane with 3-people aboard left Sioux Lookout for Cat Lake on Friday.
The plane was reported overdue late that evening and a search was launched.
No word yet on the identities of the victims.
