Air Search, Rescue Said Often Dangerous By NEVILLE NANKIVELL Canadian Press Staff Writer WINNIPEG (CP) -- Flying Offi- cer Alex Achron is a big, confi- dent man with a big job. He is one of a carefully-selected group who fly the planes of the RCAF"s most dangerous peacetime operational branch--air search and rescue. The 37-year-old pilot tips the scales at 240 pounds and stands six feet, four inches in his socks. He is too big to fly the RCAF's standard jet trainer and he wears a cloth cap when airborne be- cause earphones don't fit over his regulation headgear. AT WINNIPEG BASE Pather of three children, Ach- ron is based with 111 Communica- tions and Rescue Flight in Winni- peg, his home city. The flight is one of the five central eyes and ears of the air search and rescue service. The others are at Hali- fax, Trenton, Ont.. Edmonton and Vancouver. Each has the task of aiding per- | sons in distress and is on 24-hour call. It may be a 3,200-mile mercy | QUICK ACTION flight to frozen Arctic wastes to| pick up a serivusly-ill Eskimo or a search for a missing plane down| anywhere in an area of 1,000,000 square miles. Achron and his fellow pilots fre on an hour's notice at all times. Air search and rescue has saved the lives of many air-crash victims, prospectors, trappers, hunters and Eskimos. "Not all the work is perform- ing rescues though." says Ach- ron. "Much of it is routine com- munications flying and sometimes 1 feel like an airborne bus driver " In one week recently he flew from Winnipeg to Val d'Or, Que., Moose Jaw, Sask., Calgary and Penhold, Alta, all communica- tions flights transporting person- nel who included USAF radar technicians and German air force officers.
