(Kim Murphy/Los Angeles Times/MCT) Aircraft debris found in the waters off a Southeast Alaska village belongs to a missing medevac plane carrying three crew members, the air ambulance company confirmed Thursday.
“We have several Coast Guard assets diligently searching along with the invaluable assistance of the other rescue and volunteers, and we greatly appreciate their help.”Guardian Flight initiated a stand down of the company's Alaska fleet until updates on the search are available, according to a post made on the company's Facebook page.
“This was an extensive search effort in some very challenging conditions. Air ambulance company Guardian Flight says it has not been able to find the three crew members who went missing after a crash of the company’s plane in Southeast Alaska … More aircraft debris turned up in that search, a Coast Guard spokeswoman said. Coast Guard officials say there are three people on board, and search crews are looking in an area about 20 miles west of Kake.The Coast Guard Cutter Anacapa is conducting the search near the last known position of the aircraft.

Guardian Flight, which operated the medical airplane that went missing in Alaska, has released the names of those onboard. By 2011, Guardian’s Alaska range extended to much of the state with bases in Sitka, Ketchikan, Dutch Harbor, Kotzebue, Juneau and Anchorage, home to Guardian’s statewide corporate and maintenance hub.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to our fellow employees and their families during this very trying time" wrote Lyman, who added that Guardian Flight has initiated a stand down of the company's entire fleet until further information is available. The company statement says all are based in Juneau. The Coast Guard says the twin-engine King Air 200 took off from Anchorage on Tuesday and was expected to land in Kake but never arrived. He added nearly 1,600 hours once hired. The Coast Guard searched hundreds of square miles by land and sea. Guardian Flight, which owns the plane, says it will continue efforts to recover the bodies of the pilot, flight nurse and flight paramedic, calling them "lost employees." Morse was pregnant and due in April. “Aircraft debris was located in the search area, Wednesday, and appears to be from the Guardian flight,” the Coast Guard said in a statement Thursday evening.

The pilot, flight paramedic, and flight nurse are presumed fatally injured.
“While search and rescue efforts are continuing in an attempt to find survivors, we are resigned to accept that the aircraft was ours.” Airborne searchers from Wrangell on Wednesday afternoon spotted part of an aircraft wing in the water about 22 miles west of Kake, near the south tip of Admiralty Island in Chatham Strait, according to the Coast Guard.
Officials with a medical flight company that owns a missing air ambulance in Alaska say aircraft debris found at the search site strongly indicates that it came from their plane.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- This report corrects Margaret Langston's last name. The Coast Guard is suspending the search for a missing air ambulance in Alaska. NTSB investigator Brice Banning holds a recovered flight recorder of a Guardian Flight plane that crashed off Kake in Southeast Alaska on Jan. 29, 2019. Good Samaritan vessels are also searching the area, along with a Coast Guard helicopter based in Sitka.“Coast Guard crews are diligently searching for the missing aircraft and individuals,” said Lt j.g.
However, Guardian Flight, the medical flight company that owns the plane, announced late Thursday that it will try to recover the bodies of the missing: pilot Patrick Coyle, 63; flight nurse Stacie Rae Morse, 30, and 43-year-old Margaret Langston, the flight paramedic. The Coast Guard says it has not been able to confirm that the aircraft wing part found Wednesday and other debris found is from the twin-engine King Air 200 plane that disappeared with three people on board Tuesday.
The Coast Guard says Alaska state ferries also have joined in the search.
An aircraft with Guardian Flight air ambulance service is missing and a search is now underway, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. A friend described her as outgoing and happy to be in Alaska, where she could fish and spend time outside.
