ABERDEEN, S.D. (KELO.COM) – The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) continued searching for an aircraft that went missing last week, presumably between Aberdeen, South Dakota, and Oakes, North Dakota.
Nearly 90 personnel and four aircraft from units in both states participated in Sunday’s efforts.
The missing aircraft is a single-engine Cessna 172, white with light blue markings. It had one person on board. Authorities believe the missing aircraft has an emergency locator beacon but no signal has been detected.
Pilots flying in the Aberdeen and Oakes areas should be on the lookout for more aircraft than usual.
CAP aircraft are red, white, and blue in color. CAP is working closely with officials from Brown County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management.
Anybody with information about this incident should contact the Brown County Dispatch Office at 605-626-7911. The air and ground search will resume on Monday.
