Over an hour ago I had a Coast Guard helicopter circle my house and then some area to the West of my house. About a half hour later I heard the emergency vehicles. I turned on my handheld and heard a faint ELT signal. Unfortuanately a drive 2 miles West found a full strengh ELT signal and the Coast Guard circling the woods with a group of emergency vehicles. A call to the local Scappoose airport indicated a report of a missing RV-8 that was registered in Washington. Based on the wooded location the helicopter was circling it doesn't look good but we can hope for the best. There may have been a logging road up there. The news helicopter just flew over so I'm sure we'll know more later. This area is about 10 miles North of the Scapppoose airport.
