Crashing in a tree
I heard this story on the radio while listening to Paul Harvey Maybe 25 yrs ago.
Some friends of Paul's were flying and and one of the gentleman crashed his plane in the top of a very large tree. It was a large plane however a ground search did not reveal the location of the plane. The tree was too dense. one of the 4 gentleman looking owned a small plane and 2 of them decided to go look for the plane from the air.
The plane was quickly spotted sitting nicely in the top of the tree. the 2 men went back to the flying site and another ground search did not turn up the location of the plane in the tree. The two men and the plane made another air search. This time they decided to mark the tree's location. They aquired 3 30lbs lime bags to drop and mark the tree. Another ground search was then made. The tree and the plane were located however one of the lime bags had gone through the center of the fuselage and wing. However the plane was now down. and that is that story.
