Pilot Bagnall
Mr Bagnall is a Civil Air Patrol Mission Pilot (and actually a CAP Instructor Pilot).
If an Emergency Locator Transmitter is activated, a satellite picks up the signal, which is relayed to the Air Force. The Air Force sends the CAP out to find the ELT. In Illinois, because we do not have remote areas like say Colorado does, 99% of the time CAP finds involve an inadvertent ELT activation.

They do not actually do so much rescuing in Illinois. You can’t hardly crash an airplane here without the farmer’s wife hearing and reporting the crash. But the CAP does get called out for National disaster relief and has flown missions for the attack on the World Trade Center, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, Illinois tornado damage assessment, flooding assessment and etc. At any point the Air Force can call on us to respond and relocate in a very short period of time.
Mr. Bagnall has been flying for 30 years and have a commercial license with instrument and multi engine ratings. I also have flight instructor certificates for airplanes and instruments.
As far as Civil Air Patrol goes it is a matter of constant training and preparedness should the need arise and the call come.
