Rescue officials have discovered a plane on Wolf Lake in Queen Elizabeth II Provincial Park while the search for a 73-year-old pilot who vanished near Kawartha Lakes continues.
Search and rescue crews reported locating a plane on Wolf Lake within Queen Elizabeth II Provincial Park, a site roughly 45 minutes north of Kawartha Lakes. The discovery was posted on X by the Trenton Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, which oversees air and marine SAR operations across Ontario. The case has now been handed to the Ontario Provincial Police and is being treated as a missing-person investigation.
The missing individual is a 73-year-old pilot named David, who left Oshawa Airport at 8:30 a.m. on Friday and was slated to return at 9:30 a.m. Police said he usually flies in the region south of Kawartha Lakes township and north of Lake Scugog. Earlier statements described the aircraft as a small, blue, homemade model bearing the letters "FOFZ" on its tail, and noted David's physical description as five-foot-seven, slim, with black-grey hair and a moustache.
