1:30PM UPDATE: The OPP are asking to hear from anyone who may have heard a low-flying plane late yesterday evening.

A Griffon helicopter and Hercules aircraft from 8 Wing Trenton’s search and rescue squadron is searching the skies in the Peterborough region today.

A male pilot and his small plane is missing on a flight from Montreal to Toronto. He was to have arrived at Buttonville airport around 10:00 last night.

There has been no signal from an emergency locator transmitter to guide the search.

    I would be interested in knowing the kind of plane it was and whether it was a twin or a single engine.

  3. Jennifer says:

    From our online story, “He was flying a 4 seat, American Aviation AA 5 low wing aircraft.” Does that help?
