DOWAGIAC, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Search crews have found the wreckage of Richard Martin’s home-built plane and his body about two miles north of Dowagiac in Cass County.
The 83-year-old had been missing since taking off on a flight Sunday. He was only supposed to be in the air for about an hour and there were no electronics on the plane. He was found in the wreckage of the plane Thursday.
The Michigan Wing Civil Air Patrol says Martin’s plane was a small, home-built airframe with a polished, aluminum exterior.
Officials say Martin did not bring a cell phone with him.
