For our second episode of Oddball Pilot Radio, we’re re-publishing an audio piece we posted back in 2013. It’s a great example of the sort of oddball audio content we’ll be bringing you, in addition to discussions and interviews.
Had you been listening to 5.598 megahertz on an HF radio at 11:30 Zulu on May 17, 2000, this is what you would have heard. We got the recording from the pilot involved, and in a future episode, we’ll revisit the story from another perspective.

Wow! Totally gripping, static and “say agains” included!
I worked a command post job in Alaska with things popping up now and then. It is heartening to hear something like this! A map of Alaska had pins on it for all of the rescues and while not all are good news, people are ready and available often risking their own lives in hope that their are survivors.
