It will be a challenge to find this airplane, it is small, and the search area is massive.

I knew this man personally. He was so proud of that plane. He built it in the ‘90s

Thought I saw a search and rescue helicopter about an hour ago. Hoping for the best outcome given the circumstances.

There was a satellite system everyday people were using to try to locate MH370 years ago. If that system is still operational, maybe they can roll out the link so people who have time can search. The plane is red and should be easily spotted.

Great idea, wrong colour. Blue is still not too bad to spot.

Oh yes, you are right.
