The owner of the plane, Dwight F. Peterson of Gardena, reported the plane missing on Sunday morning. A note on the hangar door said the plane would be returned in 10 days. The plane was smashed into a hillside in Mint Canyon, the propeller broken and the fuselage bent.
With mountains visible in the background, the small white plane sits in a pile of brush, its nose on the ground. One of the wings has the serial code NCI5630 in large black letters.
