did the chinook hit the high ground, that has a very obscured spot height marked on the map, just south of the mac vor?(if its still there have a look on the map behind the sups desk at scatcc)
reason I ask is one night shift about ten years ago a sar seaking would have flown into it on a job. The crew were unfamiliar with the area and thought that as mac was flat so was the land to the south of mac, the high ground was in cloud and until i said something they were just going to track the vor to their search area, in the end they navigated around the coast.
