Successful Missouri Wing Search and Training Exercise
Great training at the Bonne Terre Airport in Bonne Terre, Missouri, on March 26, for members of Mineral Area Composite Squadron, Wentzville Composite Squadron, Gateway Senior Squadron, Trail of Tears Composite Squadron, Bootheel Composite Squadron, Group II HQ, and Missouri Wing HQ -- with 27 members participated in search and rescue and ELT (beacon) searches, while new mission staff trainees received a session in the office. Good info presentation on the Dennis Martin search lessons from a 50 year old search in the Smokey Mountains as well. Winds were too brisk for air or drone operations, but lots of ground team and mission base training occurred.
