Note to my fellow pilots out there...IF YOUR GONNA FILE A FLIGHT PLAN, WHEN YOU LAND CLOSE THE DAMN THING!!!!!! Got a call through dispatch that a Canadian Aircraft failed to make it to it's destination. We were sent to our airports to look for it. It was several hours overdue. An hour later we were called and advised he had safely landed at Lemmon, SD, 6 hours earlier, a meer 175 miles from where it was supposed to be!

Flight plans are filed for safety so you can be found is something happens and we know were to start looking. If you land short or have to divert, you gotta tell somebody. Nothing like a wild goose chase!

I am however thankful that the pilot and aircraft are ok.

Stay safe.
