“SUU’s Aviation courses include scenario-based training that prepares both instructors and students to aid in these kinds of searches. There is no better training for our students than to get up in the air on real life missions, which is why we work closely with the Iron County Sheriff's Department and operate as a Search and Locate Team.” Source: Robert Paul, director of Student Outreach for SUU Aviation, commenting after the Southern Utah University Aviation Program assisted in the search and rescue of a 6-year-old child missing for more than nine hours on March 8, 2018.
