The winter weather's again posing problems in the search for a missing plane in the area.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton reported this morning that "poor weather in the region" delayed launching of its Sault Ste. Marie Air Task Force, though it did assure analysis of satellite imagery was continuing.
It's searching for a Piper Comanche aircraft carrying two men reported overdue last Thursday night, hours after taking off from southern Ontario for Marathon.
Wintry weather's continually to pose problems for the search, and - even when the weather's been favourable for air search - deep snow, forests, and hills have made for "challenging conditions".
The JRCC is urging anyone who saw the aircraft near Highway 17 between Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie last Thursday to call 613-966-1178.
