Search Underway For Missing Aircraft

The search for a Cessna 182 carrying four people widened over the weekend, after it was reported missing Thursday night. Volunteers were out at dawn Saturday, searching for debris and -- hopefully -- survivors.

Police in Glasgow (MT) identified the pilot as Bill Newman, a car dealer in his 40s; sons Lance, 14, and Ray, 24; and Ray's fiancee Jessica Gordy, 21.

Newman's last transmission, at about 6:30 local time Thursday evening, indicated they were running into rough weather on a flight from Mobridge (SD) to Cut Bank (MT). Newman identified his position as somewhere near the Fort Peck Reservoir.

Poor visibility and drifting snow caused major problems for searchers on Friday. Saturday, 17 aircraft and dozens of searchers on the ground were involved in the effort.

Weather, however, continued to cause problems.

The FAA said Newman's 182 probably had an ELT on board. but so far, there has been no indication of a signal.
