Body Of Pilot Recovered

The body of the pilot of an aircraft that crashed on Mount Hood was recovered Wednesday morning.  A team made up of members of the Hood River Crag Rats, Oregon Air National Guard’s 125th Special Tactics Squadron and the Air Force Reserve 304th Rescue Squadron confirmed the pilot was the sole occupant and were taking the body to the Cloud Cap Inn for transport to Hood River.  The plane was discovered by Civil Air Patrol in the area of Eliot Glacier Tuesday afternoon.  The pilot is suspected to be 63-year-old George Regis of Battle Ground, who was reported missing after flying out of the Camas airfield on Friday intending to go to Arizona.  Air crews confirmed the tail number of the downed plane as belonging to Regis’ aircraft.  Hughes says recovery of the aircraft will take place at a later date.
