[elcid1970]

In 1974 I was flying an Army helicopter over Fort Jackson when the MPs called on range control freq & said an R/C model airplane had disappeared in the woods near the parade ground where it had taken off from. I did a gridiron search & located the model lying upside down about 200 yards into the woodline. Saved the hobbyists a lot of time and it was fun.

Coming to a hover over a tree to pluck a model out of the branches might have been tricky as well a flight safety violation. Anyway, glad they recovered it.

You should see FT Jackson now. It’s a wonderful base.

Thanks
