If you can help with the search call Sid Wolf with Civil Air Patrol at

His plane may have landed near Eastern Yosemite, California. We have
military helping out in the are, however, we need volunteers for land
search teams, possibly horseback. The terrain is rugged so experience
is a must. We need donations for plane fuel at this time. Please
