any ELT reports from local planes flying through the area.

Bay Hospital as it is closer to the scene.  CGSNNE said they should be brought
to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Portland.  ((WRONG!!  Eastern Maine Med 
is in Bangor!))

CG Sector Northern New England (CGSNNE) said that there are several good 
persons on scene and they have found plane wreckage, seats, and an oil sheen
