YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — Officials say a small plane flying from Santa Barbara to Mammoth Lakes has been reported missing and left the radar over Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite spokeswoman Kari Cobb says the family of the pilot, who was the only person aboard, reported him missing Tuesday morning.

The family says he departed Santa Barbara at about 12:30 p.m. Monday.

Cobb says despite assistance from the Air Force and state emergency services, only minimal searching was possible Tuesday because of tough weather conditions.

The plane went off the radar as it flew over the North Dome area of the park, and the nearest road is closed for the season, adding another challenge to the search.

Man that's scary. Just another reason I'd like to get into the NPS SAR.
Hope he's safe and warm somewhere.
