This post has two similar stories...click the link to get the story.. Funny instance of a plane saver!The other story is when my sister worked for nearly 10 years at the helicopter place in Canmore, Alberta, back in her years working while i wasn't living in Banff there was some kid who got into a helicopter (and thankfully didn't start it but set off the ELT (ELB) and a plane from Trenton was sent to fly over the area of Canmore, to search for the missing plane/helicopter and then found it at where she worked... they then took a drive (nearly 1.5 hours) in a car (because the c-130 cant land at a helicopter base) they then found out they flew 1500nm to find out that someone hit the button and it wasn't in need of rescue!! They only had to drive back some 1.5 hours back to Calgary and then load up the c-130 and fly 1200nm back for absolutely nothing...
