CF-GPJ, a privately-owned Piper Cherokee Six, with 3 people on board, was enroute VFR from Poplar River, MB to Fairford, MB. At 1641Z, when the a/c was over Lake Winnipeg and north of Reindeer Island, the pilot made a Mayday call and indicated that the a/c was experiencing engine trouble. There has been no further communication with the pilot. The a/c is presumed to have gone down in the lake and at this time the RCMP and the Department of National Defence have search a/c over the lake looking for the occupants. There is some ice formation on the lake, but is reportedly not sufficiently thick to support an a/c or search vehicles. UPDATE The search and rescue mission was cancelled on Friday, November 26, and it is presumed that the three occupants did not survive. No trace of the a/c has been found and the search operation has been turned over to the RCMP.
