MORGANTOWN (AP) — Civil Air Patrol teams on Tuesday found a small plane that vanished more than a week ago during a flight from Texas to Virginia, and the pilot’s body was amid the wreckage about five miles north of a navigational transmitter in Rainelle.
Three reconnaissance planes had searched the mountainous, densely wooded area near Quinwood and Rainelle in Greenbrier County, along West Virginia’s southeastern border, said Maj. Jeffery Schrock, a spokesman for the air patrol.
