An injured horseback rider is recovering at a Prince George hospital after being rescued in a remote area of Northeastern BC by search and rescue aircraft from Comox on Vancouver Island. Late Tuesday evening, the rider required emergency medical aid in the wilderness 185 km east of Fort Nelson. Unable to reach the area due to the rugged terrain and darkness, the RCMP called for assistance from the Royal Canadian Airforce. A CC-295 Kingfisher plane and a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter were dispatched from 19 Wing Comox.
