I'm just a realist.

I know that country well and it gets pretty hairy in a turboprop with a basic weather radar.

I also know with 7 aircraft searching and an ELT onboard they would have been found if okay. Or at the very least located pending rescue.

The 210 is a great workhorse but not the frame to be mucking around in CBs and TS. If you don't get that speed under control and the gear out she'll do the death slap pretty quickly.
