Crashed Airplanes are HARD TO SEE

In this flight training VLOG we fly with Major Rod Rakic from the Civil Air Patrol and learn just how hard it can be to spot a crashed airplane from the air. I hope this helps pilots become more aware and stay vigilant about using personal locator beacons, flight plans, and other means of staying found. Signal mirrors, laser flares, and pyrotechnic signaling devices are also all good ideas. I've got videos and podcasts coming pretty much week over week in 2018.
