Did you get a find for the truck. I read about a crew getting a find for a

Yes, my crew found a target. So, we got a find.
The trucker survived and was flown to a nearby hospital,
and would likely not have survived had we not located him.

A find for a truck. That's cool.


I live for this!

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.
