Martin Jensen piloted "Aloha" on an aerial search, carrying Denham Scott, "Golden Eagle" navigator Gordon's brother, in May 1928, looking over the jungle slopes of Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii based on unsubstantiated reports that a monoplane had been spotted there heading for Honolulu on August 17, 1927. Denham also led a ground search. In June 1928, Denham announced that he had found an area where an airplane may have made a forced landing. The tops of the trees had been broken off and a burned rag on a stick was placed at the end at the site. He led a second search on Mauna Loa starting in early August; however, no further clues were found and the search was abandoned later that month.
