A little clarification.

I was no longer helping in the "search" either. The three who were out there were the pilot who lost his bird, my instructor and the pilots girlfriend. The aircraft had essentially been located and while we all offered to help dig it out no one had the gear for it so the pilot and my instructor told us not to, and went in swinging sticks to get thru the blackberry vines since no one had a machete...

However, that said, I was disturbed by the aerobatics guy, and should have said something. I will mention it to my instructor next time out. Hopefully he agrees and just wasn't paying attention to the pilots while he was busy getting scratched up by vines.. In any case, I pray I never put my plane in over there... (THICK bushes to chop thru)
