Right now I have no further information. Crews are searching for the pilot.


Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Damn.... Sorry to hear that. Hope the pilot was able to eject and they'll find him safe.

In a remote area in the Hiawatha National Forest about 10 miles west of us. Fortunately, no snow yet, last year at this time we had 36 inches of snow on the ground. As of 8:15 am EDT, per scanner, still searching for the pilot.

Thick forest - I've fished the lakes in there quite often.

Hope they find the pilot alive and well.

ASSUME he landed in a tree..if unhurt, and he made it to the ground...should have not had a problem making a fire. Taught about tree landings , but I never had the experience, thankfully!
BTB, day or nite ejection?

Why would they do that? Or is this normal?

Not a pilot but that makes sense to me. Want people looking out the window on the ground, not for other traffic in the sky?

It's big timber and a crash isn't going to be easy to find. Heck, they're still looking for some rally cars that went off course back in the 70's (?) that no one's found yet.

Here is the ongoing twitter activity.

Strange they have not found the pilot. Don't they carry personal locator beacons? The must!

I used to live up there, I have relatives all over that area. There's lots of cabins and such in the woods that a person could find/seek shelter in. There's also a few hundred lakes in the area. If this happened at night and he came down in a lake he would be in big trouble. If they haven't found him yet, that may be what happened. Prayers for the pilot...

They've found the ejection seat five miles from the crash site, still looking for the pilot.

Would almost mean that the pilot lived? Could he be separated from the seat without walking away?
