DALLAS -- Authorities were searching early Tuesday for a small airplane that disappeared from radar and radio contact the night before.
Lynn Lunsford, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said a single-engine Piper Comanche that departed from Abilene, Texas, and was en route to Norman, Okla., lost contact about 7:30 p.m. Monday night when the craft was somewhere near Albany, Texas, about 150 miles west of Dallas.
Lunsford said officials were still trying to determine who was on the airplane. He said the FAA was working with local authorities to determine what happened to the craft.
