We used old CD's as signal mirrors. Look at the search plane through the hole, then extend your arm and "flash" the sun onto your thumb. Guaranteed you are also flashing the search plane. A CD is light, durable and easy to put in your survival vest.

As we used to say, "Anything on your body is survival gear. Anything in a duffle bag in back of the plane is camping gear, because you may not be able to get it out of the wreckage". I did a lot of SAR flying in Alaska, and often trained air crews to survive on the ground, just in case.

Now back to your regular programming (topic).......
