Renowned Test Pilot's Plane Missing in Ga.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- A single-engine airplane registered to legendary test pilot Scott Crossfield, the first man to fly at Mach 2 and Mach 3, was missing Thursday, a day after it left Alabama for the Washington, D.C., area.

The plane was last spotted on radar Wednesday in Georgia, north of Atlanta, the Civil Air Patrol's Georgia Wing said.

Capt. Paige Joyner said officials had no confirmation that Crossfield was in the plane and the air patrol does not "have any confirmation who the pilot was."

A man who answered the phone at Crossfield's home in Herndon, Va., declined to say whether Crossfield was missing and referred questions to the Civil Air Patrol.

How strange...
