The Search For Dale's Plane

The Search for Dale's Plane is a true story that began on December 1, 2013 when Alaska bush pilot, Dellon Smith, set out to find his brother's plane after it dropped off the radar over remote Idaho. Aided by family members from seven states and his brother's church congregation, they encountered impossible weather conditions, impenetrably steep mountains, and the complete loss of clues. Going home for Christmas, they returned with a new perspective and resources. With bleary eyes, physical exhaustion, humility, and prayers, thousands volunteered and miracles happened. The search wasn't just about finding the plane as many discovered a richer, more fulfilling life. Sharing their feelings and experiences, this book promises to uplift and leave you warmed by the love our Heavenly Father shows during periods of adversity and by the faith, dignity and courage exhibited by Janis, the wife of the pilot, and other family members as they waited in limbo with hope in their hearts.
