Alaska Medevac Flight Still Missing

Search Still On Despite Storms

The search for a medical helicopter that went missing over the Prince William Sound in Alaska continues after six-days of searching, according to the Associated Press. The BK-117 helicopter operated by Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. for Providence Hospital's LifeGuard-an air ambulance company--was declared overdue on Monday December, 3 when it did not return from Cordova-to Anchorage -- as reported by ANN.

Saturday, three helicopters and one military cargo plane took advantage of a break in stormy weather conditions to keep up the search for the aircraft. Dense cloud levels have hampered the search since the helicopter, carrying four people, was reported missing during a windblown, snowy 150-mile flight.

Listed on board the flight were patient Gaye McDowell, 60, of Cordova; pilot Lance Brabham, 42, of Soldotna; flight nurse John Stumpff, 47, of Sterling and paramedic Cameron Carter, 25, of Kenai.

A spokesman for the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs says the mission is still being considered a rescue, not a recovery.
