Previously, air search and rescue was a loosly knit volunteer organization, however, functioned with speed when the occasion arose. Moulton explains purpose of the program with this cogent phrasing: motorist in trouble, whether It be from mechanical difficulties or the results of an accident, usually has that peace of mind in knowing another car will be along within a reasonable Interval of time to give assistance in air travel, that is not usually the case, requiring in most instances, another aircraft to locate the missing aircraft or airman, and then a ground crew to complete the rescue and investigation And bear in mind that exposure and shock are more often responsible for fatalities than a crash or accident itself The bureau is authorized to pay the operational expense of equipment involved in the air searches a wrinkle that stalled the program before the legislature put official Idaho behind it. Air services could not afford to allot gasoline, pilot and plane for hours on end without making the balance sheet sag at the end of the month. Funds to press the program are gained from the cumulation of annual pilot registration fees of one dollar a sum which Moulton expects to expand as the efficiency and uses of the program grow.
