SEATTLE -- A two-seat trainer jet vanished from radar Tuesday after taking
off from Boeing Field.
The L-39 took off shortly before noon, and around 11:58 a.m., the pilot
reported to a Seattle Center air traffic controller that the plane was
having control problems. The aircraft then disappeared from radar after
crossing the Cascade Range.
Two people were onboard the plane, which was headed to Lewiston, Idaho.
Their names were not immediately released.
Several agencies are assisting in the air and ground searches.
