Narrative: Aircraft crashed into trees at night, written off.
This aircraft crashed in the jungle at night with Capt. Gerry Gouveia at the controls. Amazingly Gouveia escaped without serious injury.
I was Involved in the SAR for this Aircraft and Found the location of the ELT signal in the Jungle the night it disappeared with an Islander. I Got a team of GDF Soldiers from Timehri and Myself and Capt Frankie Veira walked thru the Jungle at night to the Crash site..Luckily the pilot Capt Gerry Gouveia was alive but a bit bloodied and shaken. We cleared a helipad and airlifted him by helicopter..the operation was completed in one day.
