Two hunters found themselves huddled over a fire in the middle of the woods, clinging to hope that help would arrive, after their small propeller plane crash landed outside of Talkeetna, Alaska in June 2013.
Bill Gough, the pilot of the downed aircraft, and his friend were finally rescued on July 1, 2013 by Alaska Air National Guardsmen with the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) under the operational active-duty commander of the 11th Air Force ... as it has done for 19 years ... saving 2,000 lives during this period.
