The aircraft went missing yesterday. An ALNOT has been issued.
He was talking to approach getting VFR flight following. Did they
find the 421 or is it still missing?

Also, a Cherokee landed on highway 410 yesterday (pilot put it down
in deteriorating weather). No damage or injuries. WSP however won't
let them fly it out of there....

According to the TV news, which is always a reliable source (sound of
gagging), he told ATC that he was experiencing problems, then he dropped off
of the radar. Not a good sign.

Doesn't sound good, VFR into IFR takes another one down.

I would think that few insurance companies would insure a pilot in a
421 without an Instrument rating!

Maybe he didn't have insurance.
