Civil Air Search and Rescue Association - Manitoba

Greetings to everyone from the north!

I am proud to say that we have passed our evaluation and can maintain our presence in the north for another year.  We would like to thank the seven members that participated to maintain our certification. Also a warm thanks to Kevin Choy who came up from Zone 2 with his aircraft so we didn’t have to charter a larger one.

We had to fly this year, as weather conditions would not allow it last year.  Luckily the weather cooperated with us and we managed two flights and a ground exercise.  Thanks to the eagle eyes of Norma Leahy and Greg Pelchat and the veteran navigating skills of Larry Hall we found our target.  In addition thanks to the ground crew of Jake Mohns and Dan Ignatow the target was found with our ground homing device in excellent time.  Mike Tabin at communications and Mark Klatt coordinating the search rounded out our team.

We were glad to see John Davidson come up to Thompson and show support.  Thanks to all who participated and put their best foot forward to keep us around for another year.
