December 12, 2007, Anchorage, Alaska – Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today ordered state flags to be lowered to half-staff in memory and honor of the four people onboard a medical transport helicopter that disappeared more than a week ago over Prince William Sound.
The air ambulance was en route from Cordova to Anchorage when it disappeared December 2, 2007. The body of flight nurse John Stumpff was recovered. Still missing are pilot Lance Brabham, 42, of Soldotna; paramedic Cameron Carter, 24, of Kenai, and patient Gaye McDowell, 60, of Cordova.
“Todd and I send our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of those who are lost and missing,” said Governor Palin. “I urge all Alaskans to pause and remember the selfless dedication of the LifeGuard crew and the courageous patient they were transporting.”
Governor Palin has ordered state flags to be lowered to half-staff on Friday, December 14, 2007. Flags will be raised to full-staff the following morning.
