No Sign Of Missing Plane

(AP) Search crews turned up empty after another day of the ground and air search in Northwestern Minnesota for a pilot missing since Friday.

Lieutenant George Supan of the Minnesota Air Patrol in Brainerd says 11 planes and 6 ground crews spent Monday searching an area concentrated around Staples but stretching from Wadena to Hallock. He says the sunny weather made for ideal search conditions but brought no luck.

Family members say that pilot Andrew Lindberg of Farmington wsas the only person aboard the PA-28 Piper Cherokee that left the Airlake Airport near Lakeville on Friday. He was planning to go to Hallock, in Northwestern Minnesota, to go deer hunting with his father. He never arrived.
