Description

He was picking up a new Citabria aircraft from Connecticut to deliver to Lisair (his employer) in Houlton, Maine. The Augusta VOR was out of service and as he attempted to switch to it from the Kennebunk VOR, he became lost in a storm. He placed a mayday call that was picked up by the Portland, Maine airport at 1207 hours which was the last contact with him. It is believed his plane may have crashed in Southwestern Maine or Eastern New Hampshire in poor weather.
