From the National Commander earlier today:
SENT ON BEHALF OF BRIGADIER GENERAL AMY S. COURTER
__________________________________________________ ____
Members of the National Board and Board of Governors
It is with deep regret that I inform you that three members of the Civil
Air Patrol perished in the line of duty yesterday.
A Wyoming Wing aircrew was participating in an AFRCC authorized search
for a missing 16 year old. After the plane was reported two hours
overdue, a second CAP aircraft was launched to search for the missing
C-182 when a U.S. Forest Service helicopter working in the area spotted
the crash site in rough terrain.
The names of the members will not be released until their next of kin
have been notified. I will provide you with more information as it
becomes available.
Very respectfully
AMY S. COURTER
Brigadier General, CAP
Acting National Commander
