			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.
