This projects search team consisted of:

Dave Mahre, a resident of Yakima, Washington is presently employed as a corporate pilot/mechanic for a major Washington State corporation. Dave has always had a love for airplanes including those from the Second World War years. He flew a year and a half on the north slope during the construction of the PIPELINE and spent almost three years flying float planes out of Ketchikan. "The state of Alaska has always fascinated me, especially the ALEUTIAN ISLANDS."

 

Robert Mester, owner of Underwater Atmospheric Systems, Inc., Puyallup, Washington. Bob has traveled all over the world with his electronic imaging gear, locating numerous aircraft of significant historical value.

Crayton Fenn of Seattle, Washington. Crayton is a highly experienced Side Scan Sonar operator, and an accomplished diver. Crayton's real work began when the expidition finally found the proper lake.

James Negris of Everett, Washington. A BOEING CAD CAM software program writer, James is an electronic wizard, and an accomplished diver. We made it a point of kidding James about his primary role -- that of a MULE. If we were unable to get into the lake with the transport aircraft, James "would get to help us portage the gear from the beach overland to the lake!"
