Some you hardly find

by Tony Lurie
(Noosa Australia)

Fingers, thumbs and dumb newcomer stalled somewhere on landing approach into pine forest surrounding our field .
It took five days of searching using all patterns of search including the local heli training company to try and find it on the promise of a carton of beer!
No luck 'til just meandering back to field I happened to look up at one tall pine and there it was 40 ft up!

Another plane tree!

Thanks for sharing, Tony! A carton of beer for a heli-search, that has to be the cheapest helicopter service ever! Glad it was recovered :-)
I just have to add a pic of my glider in a very similar situation, although this one was never 'lost' as yours was...
