WRIGLEY, N.W.T. — A pilot is missing after his plane crashed near Wrigley, N.W.T., Friday.
The crash happened around 2 p.m. while the plane was travelling from Fort Simpson to a camp in Wrigley.
Air controller Tanya Coates from the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton, Ont., said the Cessna aircraft was found approximately 20 km from the camp in a mountainous area.
Coates said the sole occupant — a male pilot — is still missing. Two helicopters are currently searching for the man.
On Thursday, a Twin Otter float plane crashed in Yellowknife's Old Town area killing the two pilots and injuring seven passengers.
