Brian Petersburg Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Check out the new AOPA Live starting at 15:45. Last year I was flying from Iowa to Wisconsin. I was videoing the Mississippi river out the window in my CTLS. I tilted it to get a better shot and it got into the wind and it was ripped from my hand. It fell 2500 feet into a huge woods. I thought it was destroyed and lost forever. I heard about the find my I Phone app. I brought it up on my I Pad and it was still working. After an hour 1/2 drive to Wisconsin we found it after about a 45 minute search. I have a 45 second video of it falling to the ground. The phone is in perfect shape and I'm using it today. I'll upload the video and photos when I fight pre out how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
