A search is underway in Alaska for a Bering Air Caravan flight that did not arrive in Nome as scheduled. The plane, carrying nine passengers and a pilot, was reported overdue to Alaska State Troopers. The Coast Guard and ground crews are involved in the search efforts, although limited air operations due to weather conditions have hindered the search. A C-130 Coast Guard plane with special equipment for poor visibility is conducting an aerial search over the area. The exact location of the missing plane is unknown, and efforts are being expanded to locate it. The flight took off from Unalakleet and disappeared from radar along the coast of Nome to Topkok. Crews are searching a 30-mile stretch in the hopes that the plane is on land rather than in the water. Unalakleet is a small coastal community on the western coast of Alaska, while Nome is located around 141 miles northwest. Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage is providing flight support for the search operations. The search efforts will continue until the missing plane is located.
