Glenbow's Honor Glen Sinclair or Glenbow as he is known online, is a flight engineer posted to 413 Transport and Rescue Sqn located in Greenwood Nova Scotia. In his last 8 years as a flight engineer he has worked only with SAR or Search and Rescue Sqns. To say that he felt strongly about the role that Canadas military played in Search and Rescue would be an understatement. I could go on at length about who he was and what it was like for me to know him as I did, but that would be a very long ordeal. Needless to say, Glen was a selfless person. He believed in the SAR motto That Others May Live and on many occasions he put his own life in jeopardy to save the lives of others. This type of commitment is very common amongst the Search and Rescue community where Glen as well as I work. In a small way we, his friends (in real life as well as online) wanted to pay our deepest respects to a man who was dealt a hand he couldnt play out. This level is a beautiful tribute to him. As you fly about take the time to look at the mottoes and signs on the walls. All of these in one form or another are tributes to Glen. On the afternoon of October 2 1998, Glen was part of a 6 man crew that flew from Greenwood Nova Scotia to Sept Isles Quebec. They went there to retrieve a chopper, which had just completed a long arduous rescue that was launched the previous night. The rescue took over 18 hours to accomplish with over 10.4 hours of that time spent airborne, battling fatigue and weather. As a result the crew of Labrador 305 was to tired to carry on with the return flight to Greenwood and needed to be replaced by a fresh SAR crew. After the crew changeover was accomplished Tusker 305 (this was the call sign of the helicopter) took off and flew south, across the entrance St Lawrence seaway. After 40 to 45 mins of flight, having just crossed back over land, eye witnesses report seeing smoke billow from the back of the helicopter. At this point Tusker 305 initiated a right hand turn and began to lose altitude rapidly, at approximately 150 to 200 ft above ground level the helicopter exploded and broke up in mid air. The cause of this accident remains unknown as of this writing. Glen was survived by his wife and 3 young girls. The Sinclair Childrens Education Fund has been established to assist these children later in life. Donations can be accepted at any branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Just inform them that the Greenwood Nova Scotia branch is handling the fund. I invite you to play this level often, and while playing it remember the ideals and life of the man who inspired it. A tribute page has been established at the Descent Rangers website, if you have the time you can find out more about this man there. http://www.descent-rangers.com/tributes/glenbowtribute.html That Others may Live Joe Kristiansen aka Nanook Gold Squad Descent Rangers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glenbow's Honor This level was made in honor of Glen "Glenbow" Sinclair. http://www.descent-rangers.com/tributes/glenbowtribute.html My condolances go out to all of Glen's friends and family as do the entire Rangers roster.
