Search Expanded

The zone has been expanded by Arizona officials for a single-engine plane, missing since Monday, piloted by Cynthia Anderson to an 1,800-square mile zone near Globe.

The plane is a white on white single engine Cirrus SR 22, tail # N5472S departed Winslow Airport at approx. 5 p.m. on Dec. 18th. The flight plan indicates the plane was heading to Henderson, Nevada. The last known radar location for the plane was 37 miles north of Globe.

The Arizona Division of Emergency Management is coordinating the search & asked for support from Arizona National Guard Black Hawk helicopters. Fixed-wing aircraft with the Civil Air Patrol have been searching an area northeast of Phoenix where Anderson's Cirrus SR-22 was last tracked since Tuesday. Officials believe she was heading southeast toward the Chandler Airport to avoid bad weather. Rescue vehicles will also follow other possible routes Anderson might have taken outside the designated search zone.
