2nd Lieut. Alex Cadieux, a spokesman for the Comox 19 Wing, said "Boychuk’s last known radio transmission was from over Spence’s Bridge". "After that there was no more radio or radar contact," said Cadieux...

Are we soon going to have the preliminary info, or is the circus restarted until Men's magazine brings out the true info in approximately 3 months?

Apparently the imagery area is consistent with a route Revelstoke-Kamloops or more exactly a route Revelstoke - Spences Bridge, as nothing indicates that any report came from Kamloops. I already do not see what we are (beep) doing there if Boychuk had passed Spences Bridge, but I see even less if he had passed Salmon Arm...

(Still in a very bad mood...)

So far I have been unable to locate “Spence’s Bridge.” According to one of the Boychuk web sites, his last known position was 150 km west of Salmon Arms. On a heading of approximately 250 degrees for his destination of Qualicum Airport would put him approximately 22km west of Merritt. At this point he would be 157 miles from his destination. At an estimated ground speed of 110 mph his flight time would be about one hour and 25 minutes.
Looking at the terrain for the first 60 miles of that leg , I would question that he actually flew that route. It is very rough terrain and I would not want to fly over it in a single engine airplane. He probably would follow some roads.
