Summary:
Mr. M.L. flew out to Yukon Charlie to pick up some hunters. He landed
on an unimproved airstrip, and his plane flipped over upside down. When
he became overdue, his wife initiated a search with local pilots. They
failed to find him. The search was continued on the 14th, and he was
eventually found uninjured at the airstrip. A helicopter had been sent
out just in case he was found injured. It was employed instead to remove
the wreck from the strip.
