When a child is lost, or a person with Alzheimer’s disease wanders away, or a hiker fails to turn up at base camp, General Aviation’s (GA’s) search-and-rescue network kicks into action. Whether it’s a private pilot who’s volunteering his or her airplane and time or a police helicopter with an infrared camera that’s part of a wider search effort, GA is often the most important tool available for finding and recovering the lost or missing before it’s too late.
