Sunday morning as we were wrapping up the FTAH podcast I got an email from my Dad.
He'd gone out the field to fly before me...
I am back, lost the skipper at the edge of the bushes, so I will go back after lunch with snow shoes to get it, I have a good idea, but the snow is way too deep
Dad​
Team Family to the rescue.
James and I gathered up our snow shoes and headed over to the field to help.
- We'd already been snow shoeing earlier this week.
- Team Rousseau ready to search.
- Off we go.
- While not far out this area has seen a lot of snow. Plus it had rained the day before.
- Spreading out to do a grid search.
- Man down!
- Oh boy this stuff is deep.
- James had stepped on his own snow shoe and could not get back up
- Not long after that I found the Skipper.
- Honestly if we'd not managed to find it I suspect after a snow fall it would have been buried.
No damage. After this experience I might add some colour to the top of mine.
Pilot and plane reunited.
It actually only took me 15 minutes to find the plane which was awesome.
