Forest Service Workers In WA Finds Plane Missing Since January

FAA, NTSB Heading To Scene

After having their search delayed for six months due to cold and harsh conditions at the accident site, workers with the US Forest Service last week located the wreckage of a Cessna twin that went down near Soda Peaks Lake in Washington State on January 26.

Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox told the Associated Press two Forest Service workers stumbled across the accident site Friday, south of where crews originally thought the plane had gone down.

The Cessna 421 was piloted by Martin Ayers, whose remains were also found at the scene. Ayers had made a distress call before his plane went down in heavy weather at 15,000 feet, before radar contact was lost.

Cox said the impact area is at 2,700 feet, on a side hill in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, about a mile from the nearest road.

Officials with the FAA and NTSB are expected to hike to the scene Monday, to begin an investigation.
