canuck Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Just heard on Global BC that a heli went missing in the Prince Rupert area. Anybody have more details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Word is, Lakelse air. They left our industrial site here in town at 1pm yesterday southbound for Kumeleon inlet( a logging camp) in a R22. Usually the logging foremans ride. Reported missing this morning with the coast guard dispatched to have a look. That's it so far. Hopefully a positive end. Weather was windy here yesterday(up to 20-30 knts), a bit dicey in a 22. We'll see what turns up. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Just got off the phone with someone more in the know. They found something near the camp and doesn't sound good at this time. All 2nd and 3rd hand info via marine radio evesdropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainman Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Not good. The machine was found near the camp and there where no survivors. I believe the pilot was alone but not positive. I new the man myself and we've lost another great person. May he RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
