Christian,
In the interest of time, I'm sending this directly to you instead of my trying to upload it to the blog.
This is a synopsis of today's activities and information of what they will do tomorrow:
Today the Civil Air Patrol Search & Rescue Service had eight planes in the air and four ground teams. The air teams were examining closely the two islands nearest Mackinac Island. CAP sets a numeric measure of the chance of their success of finding the plane. Today their success ratio was not as high as they wished so they will also fly those islands tomorrow. In other words, they did not find anything. If tomorrow's search doesn't turn up anything, they will fly further south tomorrow, starting at daybreak.
CAP is in contact with the Coast Guard and is keeping them apprised of their success ratio. Based on that, CG will make a decision of whether or not they will rejoin the search and when.
I forgot to add that they found that the radar tapes from the airbase at Alpena were not of value as apparently Karen was flying literally below the radar.
