PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) - The Coast Guard is searching for five
people whose plane went down off Florida's Gulf Coast.
Authorities say the twin-engine Cessna was flying from McKinney,
Texas, when it went down Wednesday afternoon about 20 miles west of Port Richey.
The twin engine Cessna left from Collin County Regional Airport
en route to Tampa about 10 a.m. The Federal Aviation Administration
says air traffic controllers in Jacksonville lost radio and radar
contact with the plane at 1:52 p.m. after it reported encountering
turbulence.
The Coast Guard says it has been searching for the aircraft
since about 3 p.m.
Records indicate the plane is owned by Q4 Aviation in
Carrollton, Texas.
The identities of the passengers have not been released.
