Boychuk is capable of surviving in the wilderness thanks to experience hunting and his work with the conservation group Ducks Unlimited, said his son Chris Boychuk.

In addition, 12 aircrafts and 26 spotters from the Civil Aviation Search and Rescue Association - or CASARA - helped with the search. The next step is to move to a lower altitude in the hopes of spotting the plane - a beige Cessna 172 with red trim - beneath the trees. read more
