Doesn't sound good.

I hate to hear this kinda stuff.

Best of luck them, and the Search Teams.

If anyone in that area has a scanner, try putting in 121.5000 and see if you can hear beeps of an ELT.

That sucks. There's some shitty terrain for airplanes there.

Can't hurt to try both... I know the planes in my family have not been changed

I thought 121.5 was for contacting the nearest ATC when entering "new" airspace.

No beeps, hope all make it.

I don't know how to tag this, or 'flag' it, as others have. (facebook isn't in my skillset)

MORTON — A helicopter search for a twin-engine Cessna and
its three occupants who went missing Monday morning in the Cascades
a few miles north of Glenoma ended about 5 p.m. Monday due to
inclement weather, low visibility and rugged terrain.

Search-and-rescue crews in seven or eight vehicles are
driving logging roads in the area tonight with sophisticated
direction-finding equipment that will allow responders to
triangulate where the Cessna may have crashed in steep terrain
which the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office has whittled down to about
two or three square miles near the east fork of the Tilton River.
The direction-finding equipment was not available during the
day.

I sure hope so too.

Thanks. I clicked the 'like' button, and it took me back to the page that I hope the rest of you can see. (sometimes it just displays the OPs, other times it shows the multitude of posts from our small community, who genuinely care.) (whoever designed that site needs a swift kick, IMO)

CHEHALIS, Wash. – Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield says officials have narrowed the search for a missing plane Tuesday to a two- or three-square mile area between Morton and Randle.

Mansfield told KITI radio that searchers have combined information from the radar track with reports from loggers who say they heard a plane turning and then a thud.

The area in southwest Washington is on wooded steep slopes where snow has recently fallen.

The pilot and two passengers took off Monday from Chehalis for Lewiston, Idaho, in a plane registered to Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute in Chehalis.

About 10 minutes into the flight the pilot of the twin-engine Cessna radioed that he was turning back because he lost power in one engine.

Plane has been found. No mention of the occupants yet, not sure if that means it's been spotted and not actually approached yet or what.

Best wishes to their families.

My father hired Ken to fly us out around where the LCRs are held, years ago. We had just moved to the area, and what better way to get a good look at our new 'backyard'. I believe it was his own personal plane that we flew in. It was a great flight, and Ken was a very confident & comforting pilot. I also had several classes with his son, Paul.

I still have the photos that I took on that flight.

Rod & I clashed a bit in high school, but never had any problems after that. He was much too young to go.

RIP
