2 Flyers On Board Reported Lost
The subject of an ALNOT,
an extensive search for a missing Thorpe T-18 (FILE photo shown on
the right is representative of the type involved) finally turned up
the wreckage of this aircraft west of Needles, CA (near the CA-AZ
border) in some remote territory. Listed as lost were a Arroyo
Grande, CA, kindergarten teacher Carl F. Daughters (the pilot), and
his wife Sue A. Daughters, a registered nurse. Reported missing
after its departure from Glendale, AZ, a search was started after
it failed to arrive at the Santa Maria (CA) Airport. A Civil Air
Patrol search was conducted in concert with the San Bernardino
County Sheriff's Department, revealing the wreckage in the eastern
Mojave Desert, west of Lake Havasu, AZ.
Our condolences to the families and friends of those lost.
