WESTLOCK, Alta. – Police are asking farmers and other property owners in an area northwest of Edmonton to check their land for any sign of a small plane that never arrived at its destination.

RCMP at Westlock say they were told Monday by the Coast Guard Rescue Co-ordination Centre that a Cessna 172 with just the pilot on board was overdue in their area.

They say the plane left Edson, Alta., just before 5:30 p.m. Sunday and was due to land in Westlock at 7:00 that evening.

It never arrived and no contact has been made with the pilot.

Mounties say the plane is white with black and red stripes.
