Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser propeller plane went missing in the Tustumna Lake and Kenai Mountains area around 10:30 p.m. Sunday after failing to return as scheduled. But a volunteer pilot spotted the plane on the frozen lake, leading to the rescue of the passengers about 12 hours after it was reported missing.
The Alaska State Troopers said in a statement: "A Good Samaritan aircraft spotted the wreckage near the east side of Tustumna Lake."
A photo of the partially submerged plane released by local media appears to show three people sitting on the wings. Rescuers struggled to find the three in subzero temperatures overnight, according to local weather reports.
