Aero-News BOLO: Search Underway For Missing Lancair Pilot Flying From Nassau To PBI When Contact Lost

The search continues for a Lancair IV that disappeared
Saturday while en route from Nassau International Airport in the
Bahamas, to West Palm Beach, FL.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Harris Sullivan, 68, was
flying to Palm Beach International Saturday morning when
controllers lost contact with him at approximately 1100 EDT, about
50 miles northwest of the Bahamas.

The US Coast Guard is conducting the search, using a C-130 and a
Falcon jet.

Crews located an empty orange life raft Saturday night about 15
miles from the plane's last recorded position, though it's not
known if the raft was from the missing aircraft.

Weather conditions at the time the plane disappeared were not
reported, although ANN has received word the plane was being
diverted around thunderstorms at the time it disappeared.

Flight tracking website FlightAware.com shows a Lancair IV
registered to Harris Sullivan, N95HS, on an IFR flight plan from
