ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Searchers were looking Sunday for a small plane carrying four people, including three park rangers, that disappeared in southwest Alaska during bad weather.
The aerial search for the Dehavilland Beaver was focusing on rugged coastal terrain between Swikshak Lagoon in Katmai National Park and the floatplane’s destination in King Salmon, about 285 miles southwest of Anchorage.
There have been no emergency locator transmissions or radio communications from the aircraft, said park superintendent Ralph Moore, who was holding out hope that the floatplane landed in a cove to wait out the changing weather.
