Colonel David Small took on the role of Incident Commander and began activating resources to begin the search. A Sioux Falls-based Cessna-182/G100 took off shortly thereafter and flew toward Watertown. At the same time a Sioux Falls-based Ground Team and a www.missourivalleyshopper.com Brookings-based Urban Direction Finding (UDF) team were organized and dispatched. The UDF Team went to the Watertown Regional Airport and used their handheld radio-direction-finding gear to search the area. While flying towards Watertown the CAP search aircraft picked up a strong ELT signal broadcasting from Arlington Municipal Airport. The aircraft landed at Arlington and directed the Ground Team and the UDF Team to come there. The two teams used hand-held radiodirection-finding gear to pinpoint the ELT in a plane in a hangar. The ELT was turned off and everyone thought the mission had ended. Col. Small called the Watertown Regional Airport manager to let him know - and to verify they were no longer getting an ELT signal. However the Watertown Regional Airport reported that there were still receiving an ELT signal. The UDF Team, who had joined up with the Ground Team at Arlington, headed back to Watertown Regional Airport. However, before they arrived the airport manager was able to find and silence the other ELT. Two ELTs active at the same time within 40 miles of each other is an extremely rare occurrence. With both ELTs shut off the search aircraft and ground teams returned to base and the AFRCC closed out the mission. www.missourivalleyshopper.com www.missourivalleyshopper.com www.missourivalleyshopper.com Visit our Web site at www.missourivalleyshopper.com Sylvia Selgestad, a counselor with agency.
