Andy Mahoney,
I know these post are old. I was on the Canadian crew that did the rescue of the co-pilot and sheriff deputy. I found your dad. He was still in his seat and frozen. Sorry for your lost. It was bad. The Americans were trying to get it from the south and we were trying to get in from the north. After 3 days we broke through. Your Dad got into a box canyon and I believe the wind made his chopper hit 200 feet above ground. It’s a miracle anyone survived. The hikers that found the crash site gave up their gear, and that is what saved the lives of the ones we pulled out. It is truly amazing we made it out alive. The hiker that his crew went to rescue only had a sprained ankle. Your Dad was a true hero and never forgot that
