OFFICER: KIRK INBERG

DEPARTMENT: Wyoming Game and Fish Department

DATE OF INCIDENT: October 16, 1991

DETAILS:  Game Warden Kirk Inberg, along with Biologist Kevin Roy and Pilot Ray Austin were on a routine tracking flight to locate a wounded grizzly bear in the Jackson Hole area.  During the flight, strong winds (estimated to be at 70 mph) moved into the area and may have been a factor in the plane's disappearance.  In the Fall of 1995, an elk hunter found the downed aircraft in a timbered area north of Togwotee Pass.
