I just had the idea of the century:

Remember the family of 4 that were caught in the woods by a snow storm this week? They were rescued after 3 nights in the snow.

They had a couple of cell phones with them, but alas, no cell relays.

What about putting a cell phone relay in a global hawk, and when somebody is lost, simply fly it over the area at 60,000 ft and call them? Bet it would work.

Comments?
