The plane has now been missing for a week with four aboard. It doesn't look good. An extensive search has detected no signs, but there are many places where the vegetation could "swallow" the plane.

Basically, it is a core ETS survival situation, if any of the occupants survived the landing. The situation gets my attention, because I have taken many similar NPS flights (in California, not Alaska).

If the same policies are in effect that were in place in the 1990s, everyone aboard had taken a mandated air related survival course.

I require an emergency beacon on me when I get in a plane too.

PLB's are too small to be able to justify not carrying one. . .
