The search for a Cessna 208 that went missing between Nakina and Fort Hope with two people onboard Tuesday now involves at least six aircraft, but could be hampered by low visibility.
THUNDER BAY – Officials say a search for a missing plane that dragged into its fifth day on Saturday will get a boost from additional search and rescue aircraft, but those efforts could be hampered by low cloud ceilings.
A Thunder Bay-based air task force was struck on Thursday, including aircraft provided by the Royal Canadian Air Force, Canadian Coast Guard, and the volunteer Civil Air Search and Rescue Association , with support from the OPP and Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources. An additional RCAF CH-149 Cormorant search and rescue helicopter was en route to Thunder Bay on Saturday, said Capt. Hrayr Karageozian of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Trenton in a release.
