The Grand County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a small airplane that did not return to Moab as scheduled.
Two people were aboard, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. The airplane left Moab about 8 a.m. Sunday and was expected back by noon.
The release did not specify the make or model of the aircraft, but an attached photo showed a red, single-engine, two-seat airplane. The tail number shows the airplane belongs to a Moab business. When called Monday, the person who answered the business’s phone referred questions to the sheriff’s office.
The news release said private, volunteer airplanes began searching Sunday afternoon and stopped at dark.
