A search for two missing pilots on a joy flight aboard a twin engine Comanche light aircraft has resumed this morning.
Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Tracey Jiggins said two fixed wing aircraft and police helicopters are searching a 100 square nautical mile area north and east of Northam.
The pilots, believed to be aged in their 40s and 60s, failed to arrive back at Jandakot Airport yesterday afternoon as expected.
"They told somebody at the airport they were going out to a property near Northam," Ms Jiggins said.
The plane was privately owned by one of the men.
Does anyone have any more info? I can only think of two twin comanches at Jandakot one being JFC's and the other belonging to missionary air support. I hope its neither
