Show NEWS Hill 5 Hilltop Tiroes March 8, 1991 helicopters aid snowmobile search by Debbie Christiansen Hilltop Times staff writer forced to return because of darkness, said 1st Lt. Scott Graham, H-- l crew member. Tuesday morning, an Super Jolly Green Giant heavy-lif- t helicopter was sent out because it was better able to handle the extremely windy weather conditions, Lieutenant Graham said. "The wind was really kicking us around out there," he said, but stressed the crew is trained for such conditions and would do nothing to put themselves in danger and risk life and limb. The lieutenant said part of the reason the helicopters were called in was because their crews are betH-5- Two helicopters from Hill AFB's 6514th Test Squadron were among those joining in the search for five snowmobilers lost in the Monte Cristo area east of Ogden. The snowmobilers failed to return Sunday evening and weren't located until late Tuesday morning, officials from the Weber County Sheriff's Department reported. An H-- l Huey light-lif- t utility helicopter responded to a call from the Weber County Sheriff's Department late Monday afternoon. Its crew joined the search until about 6:20 that evening when they were 3 ter trained to fly in such conditions than most non-militar- y crews. "The sheriff's department has to go through a lot of people who do this for a living in the civilian sec tor before they can call us, so they don't call us very often. Whenever they do, we do everything we can to help," Lieutenant Graham said. The snowmobilers were found in good condition near the spot where searchers had set up their base camp at a snowmobilers' parking lot at the east end of State Road 39. Lieutenant Graham said they were spotted just two to five miles north of where the H-- l had to quit searching because of nightfall. "If we had just had 20 more minutes of daylight, there's a good chance we would have found them," he said. The search party was also made up of volunteers, sheriff's deputies and jeep patrol members from Weber, Cache and Rich counties. horMour credit given for Desert Storm RANDOLPH AFB, Texas (AFNS) Air Force people who have served at least 181 consecutive days in the Middle East in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm may be eligible for short-tou- r credit, officials at the Air Force Military Personnel Center said.
