Two Army National Guard UH-72 Lakota helicopters joined the search after overcast skies initially hampered efforts to get civilian helicopters in the sky, Cantrell said. One of the military helicopters spotted the wreckage about 12:40 p.m. CST, said Guard spokesman Tim Powell. "It was just an awesome job on everybody's part," Cantrell said. "He has to be a pretty good pilot. He went down between trees in some oak hardwoods and the wings took the impact." The plane is registered to Buccaneer Aviation Inc., a Delaware corporation. Huggins is an instructor at Downtown Aviation, which gives flying lessons at the airport in Olive Branch, Miss., where he was headed.
