Crews Search for Ultralight Aircraft Near Small Pa. Airport

Emergency crews have resumed their search for an ultralight aircraft that took off from a small western Pennsylvania airport but never returned.

Westmoreland County authorities aren't releasing the pilot's name, but say his left his car, keys, wallet and cellphone at the Rostraver Airport Wednesday evening and hasn't returned to claim the items.

Crews were searching wooded areas near the airport, which is about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. They called off the search about 1 a.m. Thursday, but had resumed about six hours later.

Officials say the pilot was supposed to meet some people at an airport hangar Wednesday night but never arrived.
