Kenai CAP Squadron
Responds to Varied Casis
The Kenai squadron of the
Civil Air Patrol had a slack
• nth during September and
was called only five rescues or
evacuation missions during the
month, according to Maj. Glen
Kipp, squadron commander. As
luck would have it, Kipp was the
i* lot available on all five flights.
In August, when the CAP’s L-20
Beaver responded to 10 missions
of search, rescue or evacuation,
Kipp was the pilot on only one
occasion.
On Sept. 3, Bry Ellingsworth,
€2, Anchorage, became lost while
hunting off Robinson Loop Rd.

of his disappearance the next
day, was asked to conduct a
ic .reh. A flight over Oil Well
End Robinson Loop roads and the
aiea in which Ellingsworth was
exacted to be brought negative
2 . ■ iltS.
There was so much ground
c i\er and due to the man's age
j„ -ible injuries it was decided
that a ground search should also
be made.
It was suggested that Shorty
Bradley of Talkeetna and one of
1 i.. bloodhounds be flown in be
fore the trail had time to be
came cold. The Anchorage CAP
bi ought Bradley and the dog
down that evening. On their wray
t tne area with the bloodhound,
the man walked out and was
found by other searchers w h o
heard his rifle shot.
The second mission of the
month was on Sept. 8 when Ellis

on Sept. 13 to an Anchorage hos
pital. Hers was a serious case.
Kipp said, and was the third time
she had required treatment for
ruptured ulcers and intestinal
bleeding. Transfusions were giv
en her enroute by a Wildwood
doctor, Capt. Peter Weber, who
went along as medical attendant.
The crash of a CAP officer's
private plane in the Moose Riv
er area instigated the fourth mis
sion on Sept. 2-8. Lt. ( <>1, Robert
G. Live say, Air Force liaison of
ficer for Anchorage, was the ob
ject of a search after he failed
to join hunting companions at
Pedersen’s Moose Rivetr Resort as
planned. He had crashed when
the engine of his Aeronca Se
dan failed on takeoff after he
had loaded it with moose meat.
He was injured and unable to
free himself from the wreckage
for some time.
Another hunting companion,
waiting on the lake shore to be
picked up later, was without sup
plies across a wide expanse of
water. Both men were rescued
the next day by Walt Pedersen,
resort operator. Fog and weath
er conditions prevented the CAP
plane from taking off from Ken
ai airport to resume the search
it had conducted for many hours
the previous evening.
Final mission of the month was
on Sept. 30 and marked the 58th
CAP mission of the yeauv Agri
fina (Aggie) Lafflee, 52, was
flown to Anchorage at 2:27 p.m.
for treatment of burns received
the previous night. Capt. Webber
of Wildwood Station accompan
ied her on flight as medical at
tendant. Mrs. Lafflee died in Al
aska Native Hospital at 1 a.m.
on Oct. 4.
