ff&S Officer Crashes
Civil Air Patrols in Alaska fly
hundreds of search and rescue
missions annually aiding civilian
population but it is a rare event
when a civilian has an opportun
ity to rescue a member of the
CAP, and an official at that.
Such an occurance happened last
week on the Kenai Peninsula.
Walt Pedersen of Pedersen’s
Moose River Resort in the Sterl
ing area was the civilian. The
man he rescued was Lt. Col.
Robert G. Livesay, the Air Force
Civil Air Patrol liaison officer
who coordinates activities be
tween the Air Force and the CAP
at Anchorage. Site of the rescue
was an island in the Moose Riv
er-Swan Lake area.
Livesay was piloting his own
float plane, an Aeronca Sedan,
and was alone in the plane at
the time of the crash on the
island about 5 p.m. last Thurs
day.
He suffered fracture of facial
bones, including both jaws, and
a compound nose fracture, as
well as lacerations of the face
and a fractured ankle.
Engine failure on takeoff has
been given as the cause of the
accident. The plane is reported
to have been totaled out.
Colonel Livesay and his hunt
ing companion, a Colonel Whit
taker of San Francisco, who is
assistant liaison officer of the
Pacific region based at Hamilton
Ai F orce Base in California, had
shot a moose on their way down
to the Moose River Resort where
Capt. Fred Henderson had pre
ceded them by car. Henderson is
assistant liaison officer for the
Alaska Wing out of Anchorage.
After shooting and dressing
out the moose, Livesay took off
in his plane with the meat in
tending to take it to the resort
and then return for Col. Whit
taker, who remained at the tem
porary camp on the shore of
•Swan Lake.
Whitaker saw the plane crash
but was unable to reach Livesay
because of the stretch of water
between them. He was without
sleeping bag, flares or other
supplies.
When the plane did not arrive
at Moose River Resort by dark,
Henderson became alarmed. Maj
or Glen Kipp, commander of the
Kenai CAP squadron, was at the
resort at the time and immed
iately led the CAP sorties w'hieh
continued until 1:30 a.m. Friday
without success. The search was
discontinued until morning when
visibility was expected to be bet
ter and Henderson accompanied
Kipp to Kenai. Due to Livesay
being severely injured and trap
ped in the aircraft he had been
unable to make a signal fire.
After midnight, the injured
