about the twin cities of Terrace

Aircraft missing

A Transprovincial Airlines twin-engine Piper Navajo bound from
Bronson Creek to Terrace is missing and is presumed to have
crashed. As of press time yesterday, the name of the pilot and three
passengers aboard the flight have not been released.

According to Capt. Tony Jones of CFB Comox, leader of the
search effort in Terrace, the aircraft left the Bronson Creek airstrip
at 1:50 p.m. Monday and was due to arrive in Terrace at about
3:30 p.m. The last communication with the pilot was about 10
minutes after his departure from Bronson Creek. The pilot was
presumably following the Iskut River valley towards the Highway
37 corridor and reported weather conditions in that area at the
time were a 3,000 foot ceiling and snow showers,

The Bronson Creek airstrip is located about 110 kilometres
northwest of Stewart and about 330 kilometres northwest of
Terrace. The airstrip serves a number of mining interests in the
area, primarily that of Cominco’s SNIP gold properties.

Jones says the "preferred" flight path of the aircraft would have
been east from Bronson Creek, following the Iskut River valley to
Highway 37, south to a point about 20 kilometres north of Cran-
berry Junction, southwest to a point near New Aiyansh following
the Nass River, and south from Aiyansh to Terrace. He says a
Buffalo aircraft from CFB Comox followed that route Monday
night in a preliminary electronic search but was unable to detect
any signals from the Navajo’s emergency locator transmitter.

A source at search headquarters in Victoria adds that a satellite
survey of the area also failed to detect a signal from the aircraft's
emergency location transmitter.

A search for the missing aircraft resumed Tuesday morning with
two helicopters from Northern Mountain Helicopters, two commer:
cial aircraft from Transprovincial and one private aircraft. Low
cloud and rain in the area yesterday morning made a full scale
search difficult, but by noon two armed forces helicopters and the
Buffalo had joined the search. Afternoon weather conditions were
basically unchanged, however, and as was suggested by Jones
earlier in the day, under those conditions the helicopter search
offered them the best chance of success, a
