I'm surprised no one has mentioned the CAP searches for stranded
motorists. They kept making the national news for a few days. Good
PR.

Anyone here one of the pilots involved? Anyone know if they found any
people?

Thanks!

Blush, I was one of the search and rescue pilots. I believe
Colorado Wing is credited with 20 finds and 4 saves.

My crew found a jack-knifed 18-wheeler about 25 miles south of
La Junta, Colorado on Colorado Highway 109. We coordinated with a
national guard helicopter and they flew the trucker to a nearby
hospital.
