A single-engine plane missing since Monday was found Thursday afternoon, crashed at the top of Thompson Pass with the Sutton pilot dead inside, Alaska State Troopers say.
Andy Andersen gives advice to his 3-year-old son, Chase Andersen, before a race at the Kincaid Motocross track on June 24, 2012. Andy Andersen was found dead July 14, 2022, in the wreckage of his small plane in Thompson Pass in Southcentral Alaska.
At about 2:15 p.m. Thursday, an Alaska Army National Guard HH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and crew located the wreckage about 1,000 feet off the Richardson Highway, troopersScores of friends, family and other civilians were involved in the search for the missing plane, in hopes Andersen had landed somewhere in the Chugach Mountains to wait out bad weather that also hindered air searches for several days.
By Thursday, the agencies involved in the search included the Alaska Army and Air National Guards, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter out of Cordova, and members of the Civil Air Patrol, according to Guard spokesman Alan Brown. With so many people involved, Alaska State Troopers also requested help from Alaska Incident Management Team to coordinate the ground search.
The Federal Aviation Administration, in coordination with the Rescue Coordination Center, enacted flight restrictions in the Thompson Pass area to provide safe airspace for aircraft involved in the search, Brown said.This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
