Search is on for Missing Small Plane

The Michigan Wing of the Civil Air Patrol has been hard at work this weekend looking for a small single engine plane with two people aboard, that's been missing since Friday.
The plane took off from Mackinac Island Airport on Friday afternoon and was in route to Bad Axe, Michigan... But it never got there.

Headquartered in Gaylord, more than 60 wing members and eight civil air patrol planes started searching for the overdue aircraft yesterday afternoon. So far, they've logged more than 30 hours of flight time.

Ground teams followed up on leads phoned in by lcoal residents and supported flight teams when needed.

They are concentrating their search on the plane's projected flight path along the lake huron coast.

If anyone saw anything Friday afternoon, or since, that might help searchers, they can call 248-240-2275.

This one says the search has been suspended. That is only partially true. The Coast Guard is no longer searching without more concrete information:

Search for missing plane comes up empty

HURON COUNTY — An extensive search for a missing single engine aircraft bound for Bad Axe Friday has been suspended, according to the U.S. Coast Guard out of Detroit.

The aircraft was reportedly bound for Huron County Memorial Airport on Friday from Mackinac Island but did not arrive.

Ellen Engler, Huron County Memorial Airport manager, said there was no flight plan logged for the stop in Bad Axe, but that is not required. It was when “a private party came here to meet the aircraft” in Bad Axe that it was determined the aircraft was missing.

Engler said the aircraft is reported to be a four-passenger single engine airplane. She did not know who or how many people were aboard when the aircraft left Mackinac Island.

“I do know we fueled out the Coast Guard and they had people conducting a very extensive search,” Engler said.

The U.S. Coast Guard out of Detroit confirmed the air search for the aircraft “from the location the aircraft left from to the location they were expected to arrive.”

Huron Central Dispatch received a call at 11:24 a.m. on Saturday from Lansing Air Service requesting that someone check the Huron County Memorial Airport for a blue and white aircraft that was supposed to have landed at the airport.

Deputy Ryan Swartz was dispatched to the airport and was unable to located the aircraft.

No further information was available from the Coast Guard.
