Search efforts are continuing for a plane carrying two men believed to have disappeared in the area a week ago.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton says nine aircraft from the Royal Canadian Air Force, Canadian Coast Guard, OPP, and Canada's National Civil Air Search and Rescue Association are searching for a Piper Comanche aircraft reported overdue last Thursday evening, hours after taking off from the southern community of Delhi, heading for Marathon.
While wintry weather has posed problems for the search, the JRCC reported favourable weather for air search on Wednesday, though it later noted deep snow, forests, and hills make for "challenging conditions".
It's also urging anyone who saw the aircraft near Highway 17 between Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie last Thursday to call 613-966-1178.
