Tour Plane Found

Sad news from the Big Island:

"After six days of searching over land and sea, the wreckage of a missing tour airplane was discovered yesterday in dense vegetation 5,200 feet up the southwestern flank of Mauna Loa.

The bodies of the pilot and the two passengers were recovered by helicopter crews because the crash site is eight miles from the nearest road."
