Missing Pilot LeRoy Del Don and Beechcraft Airplane Located.

Mountain Ranch, CA...(Update...The Calaveras County Coroner's office has confirmed that the deceased male in the wreckage was LeRoy Del Don and that his family has been notified. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends) On Tuesday, June 13, 2017 around noon, a search team reported finding possible aircraft debris. Shortly after this discovery a crash site and aircraft was located around one mile south of the last known radar point of Missing pilot LeRoy Del Don. The area of the site was densely wooded and steep, and the aircraft appeared to have collided with one or more trees before coming to rest on a steep hillside. One deceased person was located in the wreckage.





Due to the condition of the wreckage, neither the aircraft nor occupant was positively identified as being the missing Beechcraft and Pilot LeRoy Del Don. However, circumstantial evidence indicated that the wreckage was that of the missing Beechcraft.

Investigators will remain on scene throughout the night and will work with National Transportation Safety Board upon their arrival tomorrow. This Board investigates major incidents involving aircraft.

Our condolences are with LeRoy Del Don’s family and friends.

We would like to thank the following Agencies involved in this massive search effort; Contra Costa, Alameda, Tuolumne, Amador, Placer, Mariposa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, and Solano County Sheriff’s Offices. As well as the Bay Area Mountain Rescue Unit, California Highway Patrol, Civil Air Patrol, California National Guard, Airforce Rescue and Coordination Center, and the California State Office of Emergency Services.
