By you request, I have posted the picture at:

I'll keep it up until the end of February.

You can see the SOS in the snow, the trucker standing on top
of his hood, flashing us with the mirror. It is about 3:20PM.
North is to the top of the picture.

This is ~25 miles south of La Junta, Colorado on Colorado Highway
109.

We had a guard chopper to him within an hour, and he was evacuated
to the La Junta Hospital. I have not heard more, and I will never
know who this was, nor any other details.

The Civil Air Patrol airplane was a Cessna-182, N9849H, callsign
Cap Flight 549, based at Fort Collins - Loveland Airport (FNL),
about 60 miles north of Denver.

I was the pilot, and I had an observer in the right seat, and
another observer in the left back seat.

One of the crew took a picture of the rig and the SOS stamped out
in the snow.

First, let me say a BIG, "Way to Go!"

Do you have a way to post some of your search and rescue pictures? If no
other way, try: alt.binaries.pictures.aviation
