Default The search (for a 33%)

Last Saturday a 33% Krill Katana went into fail-safe and subsequently made a break for it from my airfield, despite heroic efforts and a car chase we lost sights of it over the lava fields about the same time as the gas ran out on it. Understandably the owner was a bit upset so search parties were dispatch in effort to locate the downed model.

As I presume you are not familiar with the territory I'll give a quick description of it, the area were the model disappeared into is made up of aa lava and very rough(and sharp) and hard to walk through. So it was decided that the search would have to be performed from the air using what ever full size airplane/helicopters we could muster for the cause.

Here is the map that search parties were given, the red cross is about were the plane was last seen and I recently added the green one were it was found yesterday. Red dot is our airfield.
