When at the field Friday morning we saw a Bell Helicopter fly in from the West and slowing start to circle over the farmers field. After about 3 circles they then landed on the far edge of the North runway and let us know they spotted a downed aircraft.
They flew back to the downed location and hovered to give us a bearing so Bernie, Bob, Thomas , and Wayne could recover.
This jet went down in the farmer field the prior evening and the owner was unable to find it by foot so what a great way to have it found, especially when the help appears to be unsolicited.
