I was in AK when a twin engine plane vanished. It was found a year later, it crashed next to a main road.

Planes can be next to impossible to spot, even when they are next to a motorway.

A Mooney was lost in the Rogers Pass along the Trans Canada Highway. A couple years later EMS in a helicopter spotted it some 50 yards off the highway. The local conifer trees are huge.
