The three occupants of a plane reported missing Sunday night were rescued Monday morning from the wreckage of their plane on the frozen surface of the glacial outwash lake near Tustumena Lake.

A dispatch by Alaska State Troopers on Sunday says they were told first around 10:30 p.m. that a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser, a single-engine aircraft that seats three, was overdue. A search for the plane was undertaken, troopers said, by the Alaska Army National Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center and good Samaritan aircraft.

Sunday morning, one of those good Samaritan aircraft located the wreckage. In a photo shared with the Clarion, the three occupants can be seen atop the wing of their plane sitting on the ice. The body of the craft was submerged.

At around 10:30 a.m., troopers say, the national guard was able to rescue the adult male pilot and two minors from the area. All three were taken to a nearby hospital “for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.”
