Dan Morris, We did pretty well while I was flying down there (Canon City). I think most of the airplanes we looked for were found, some much later. We would usually get the "call-out" about 10:00 pm and sit down and look at the maps to try to figure out where "they" went wrong. Usually had our Cessna 182 off the ground at daybreak. There were about 6 of us that could get time off to search and we had a 182 stationed there for our use. That was why we always had it in the air when someone was missing. At that time there were still some wreckage that wasn't marked and we would get calls on old wreckage. Some were quite interesting. There is the wreckage of a Super Constellation on the west canyon of Mt. Blanca (east of Alamosa) that requires a full flap, power off pass coming down hill to get close enough to see it. Just ground up aluninum. There are many around the state like that. Many memories!
