Do you have information about the specifics of the search effort that

Nothing other than the news reports at the time of the search. They
indicated that the search effort was much more extensive than one would
expect for the average missing plane.


Two questions:

1. If such an effort were organized, would you personally be
interested in searching? (I would)

I don't think I would be. Searching for a downed plane with possible
survivors is one thing. Conducting a massive search to recover a body is
another. There are risks involved to the search aircraft and crew
(particularly in the area in question) that would make it hard to justify.

2. In the event that the nation's pilots were successful, how do
you think it would affect public opinion of GA operations?

I don't the general public would care much one way or the other.

Perhaps the EAA would be an appropriate organization to carry the
ball.

You could try, but I think they would probably pass due to the risk vs.
reward factor.
