SAR Helicopter

After five days of searching, a private plane piloted by a lone LaBarge rancher remains missing.  Teams from the Sublette County sheriff’s office and Tip Top Search and Rescue on foot and snowmobiles were aided Thursday and part of the day Wednesday by search planes from the Civil Air Patrol and the Teton County Search and Rescue Helicopter as the area from the Upper Hoback region south was combed for any sign of the plane or 63-year-old Myles McGinnis.  McGinnis and his plane vanished from radar about 4:00 pm Saturday afternoon as he was returning from a trip to Stevensville, Montana.  Searchers report going through waist-deep snow as they comb the search area.
