Our Fire Department Mavic found a drown fisherman completely submerged in deep water on the Gunnison River near Hotchkiss, Colorado on Saturday October 7th. I was unable to spot the faint outline of the victim on the iPad, but checked the video later that night on my 25" monitor, and luckily was able to see an outline. I used a web-based GIS program to get a very accurate location, and crew returned the next morning and recovered him at that spot.
The story is here: Fisherman's body recovered
The successful flyover was actually on the Mavic's first flight of the search, at 9:50 AM. We continued to search for the rest of the day, and flew for about 3 hours. I complied the video from several flights. The section of video where the victim was found is not for publication and not included due to sensitivity to the victim's family.
