Oregonian's Plane Missing in Utah
 

The Utah County, Utah Sheriff's Office is looking for a missing plane registered to an Oregon owner.

The plane was reported missing Monday afternoon after leaving a Salt Lake County airport that morning. The plane took off from Municipal Airport No. 2 in West Jordan at 8 a.m. headed toward the Deer Valley Airport, near Phoenix, Ariz.

Registered to an owner in Oregon, the plane only had one person aboard. The Federal Aviation Administration said a single-engine Beech aircraft had been reported missing by a family member Monday night.

Sadly, an unfortunate outcome for this flight.. .<a href="http://www.faa.gov/avr/aai/A_0129_N.txt" target="_blank">http://www.faa.gov/avr/aai/A_0129_N.txt</a>

This particular area is a tough, desolate place in the winter time, and I have spent a lot of time in horrendous conditions (and places) waiting for the weather to improve.

Condolences to the family.
