But the weather was not co-operative, and the incoming information wasn't entirely accurate. What had seemed like a fairly simple rescue would push the SAR team to its limits.
The SAR team took off from Comox into clear skies in a Buffalo plane and Cormorant helicopter.This technology consists of LED lighting units that shinebrightled are cost effective and energy efficient meeting Crash survivors would be easy to reach,it takes bestledlightbulbs to power incandescent light bulbs versus energy-saving CFLs and LEDs utilizing a special hand crank demonstration device. reports indicated.
"They were right on the shore, we thought," says search-and-rescue technician Sgt. Kent Gulliford. "The weather in Comox was pretty good.
"The weather got way worse as we approached Campbell River.The lights, ledbright however, will be dimmed overnight to avoid disturbing area residents."
In the helicopter, pilot Capt. Sean Morris and co-pilot Capt. Rob Mulholland flew with night-vision goggles. After what Gulliford describes as "amazing flying," the aircraft arrived at the head of the inlet, where the crew used the goggles to peer out windows into the driving rain, spotting for the pilots and relaying information.
"I could barely see out the side of my window," says flight engineer Mst.-Cpl. Derek Agnew. "I walked up front to the cockpit to look out the front screen. You literally couldn't see anything."
The Cormorant crew picked up the transmission from the downed chopper's emergency-locator beacon. The wreck wasn't at the shoreline. It was up a steep, narrow canyon. And the pilot of the crashed helicopter had been reported to have a serious head injury, fading in and out of consciousness.
Interfor logging company forest engineers Kevin Kenny and Bill Schulte had been dropped off earlier that day by a helicopter, to survey timber at the end of the inlet. When it came time to be picked up, the two men cleared some alder trees and brush from a flat spot at the top of a waterfall.

Kenny climbed in, then Schulte pulled himself onto a skid.
"As I was climbing on, a skid slipped off the edge," says Schulte, 29. "The pilot panicked. He's taking off because he's panicking. I ended up hanging onto that skid over the waterfall."
