Search underway near Donnelly for missing aircraft
BOISE – The search is underway for a missing aircraft out of McCall, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Owned by McCall Aviation, the missing aircraft is a white Cessna 206 single-engine airplane that seats six. A pilot and two passengers were on board. The aircraft left McCall this morning for the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
Search efforts by Idaho Army National Guard helicopters have been concentrated in an area a few miles east of Donnelly, based on the missing aircraft’s Emergency Locator Transmitter signal. The area is inaccessible to motor vehicles.
Inclement weather and high-mountain snow are hampering search efforts. The search will continue at daylight.
