A search for two men who left the Delhi, Ont. airport a week ago has resumed.
The weather had hampered the search for John Fehr and Brian Slingerland, who disappeared along with their aircraft about 60 kilometres north of Sault St. Marie, Ont.
A search and rescue official tells CTV News London there are “great flying conditions” Friday to continue the search.
It is positive news for the families of the two men. They continue to hope their loved ones will be found safe.
Still, the task remains a challenge for rescuers, according to Capt. Christopher Dube of the Air Task Force Headquarters, based in Sault St. Marie.
“We’re dealing with incredibly rough terrain. It’s vast, it’s densely wooded, it’s hilly,” he says.
Before taking off Friday, Search and Rescue (SAR) crews had logged 2,000 flight hours.
