This is not costing the taxpayers anything. I know one of the members of the Lyon County Search and Rescue team. The military is going to train anyway, this is what they do. The Civil Air Patrol has it’s own funds and Baron Hilton is paying for all the gas and extras like GPS systems that mark all the grids that had been previously searched. I live where he took off. It is a vast terrain. The reason they are finding other crash sites is because the technology has improved over the years AND there were no search and rescue teams in those days. No one lived out here! There were no crash site records and the NTSB only gets involved when there is a commercial flight that goes down or a suspected crime and I am not quite certain about that. So don’t get up on your high horse without knowing the facts. You appear very pompous.
