Rescue crews continue to search for a missing pilot who took off from Edmonton City Centre Airport Monday and didn't return.
When the single propeller Beechcraft Bonanza plane, carrying only the pilot, didn't return to the airport at its scheduled time, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre at CFB Trenton launched a search.
A Hercules aircraft from Winnipeg scoured the area near Drumheller, the aircraft's last known position, overnight but turned up nothing.
The search is continuing today with another Hercules replacing the one that searched overnight. The Civil Search and Rescue Association of Alberta has also joined the search, said Lt. Annie Morin, spokesman for Eight Wing Trenton.
"They're civilians and they do search and rescue as well," she said. "At this point they have three aircrafts searching."
