Spoke to Jeff Shanks wife Nat this morning and she said there are a few machines out looking even though the weather isnt flash.
Hannibal is out there as is Southwest Helicopters, Colin Tuck from the West Coast and a couple of others, as well as Shanks himself.
The advantage that these guys have flying around in this weather is that they have all been flying this area for twenty plus years and know it like the back of their hand.
Everyone agrees it looks grim but since the ELT hasnt been activated there is a very slim chance.
Autorotate.
