Overdue home-built plane found in Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes area, pilot still missing

A home-built plane that failed to return to Oshawa, Ontario last week has been discovered in Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes area, but the 73-year-old pilot remains missing. The Trenton Joint Rescue Coordination Centre announced that the plane was located on Wolf Lake in Queen Elizabeth II Provincial Park. Ontario Provincial Police have taken over the case as a missing person’s investigation and additional search units were deployed to aid in the ongoing efforts to locate the individual.

Durham regional police confirmed the missing man as David, an experienced pilot, who typically flew in the area south of the municipality of Kawartha Lakes and north of Lake Scugog. The plane in question is a blue and yellow, home-built aircraft with the letters “FOFZ” emblazoned on its tail.
