SALEM, Ohio - The Ohio Highway Patrol has joined the effort to find a Green Township man who took off in a plane from Salem on Sunday and has not yet returned.

Troopers tell 21 News that they have been contacting airports in an attempt to find out if 83-year-old Willard Olds landed his green and white, single engine Cessna there.

There has been no sign of Olds since he took off at around 3 p.m. Sunday from Salem Airpark.

The Federal Aviation Administration has informed authorities that Olds did not file a flight plan, and so far there is no record of him landing at another airport.

Goshen police say Olds left his checkbook, personal photos, flight log, and his plane's maintenance log inside his car parked near the hangar.

Olds also has not been seen at his Green Township home.

It is not believed that Olds has any family in the area.

According to FAA records, Olds was issued a license in 2010 to pilot a single engine private plane.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol maintains an Aviation Section that provides technical service for aircraft crash investigations and enforcement of laws governing air traffic.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Willard Olds may contact the Goshen Police District by calling 330-332-1235.
