A plane with 10 people on board, including nine passengers and a pilot, is missing in Alaska after failing to arrive in Nome as scheduled. The Bering Air Caravan flight was reported overdue to Alaska State Troopers and the Coast Guard has been notified. Despite limited air operations due to weather conditions, a C-130 Coast Guard plane is conducting a grid pattern search with equipment that can detect people and objects under poor visibility. Ground crews are covering the coast from Nome to Topkok in the search effort. The exact location of the plane is still unknown. Unalakleet, where the flight originated, is a small coastal community on the western coast of Alaska, and Nome is located around 141 miles to the northwest. The Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage is providing flight support for the search. The situation remains ongoing as officials try to locate the missing plane and its passengers.
