Default Missing RV-7 Arkansas > Georgetown,Tx

The newspaper and local news here in Little Rock,Ark are reporting a missing RV-7 . A flight plan had been filed back to Georgetown. The local CAP is conducting searches. RV had stopped for fuel and the pilot had called his wife. We had severe thunderstorm warnings all across this area last evening.

I sure would like to know who they are looking for. I saw one of the three -7 drivers based on the field yesterday.

News sources say that George Miller is the missing RV-7 pilot.

What turmoil for his wife and family. Prayers go out for them and for a positive conclusion.

Default KBTX TV News report on Georgetown, TX pilot

This report has a video which shows an RV-7A which apparently is the subject airplane. The RV is red and gray with black and white striping. Also, his name is given as Charles Miller and the N-number is N474JM.

Hope he comes walking out of the woods. Concern for the anxious family is expressed by me.

No IFR flight plan filed and IFR/IMC conditions on that date/time, hope everything is well and this is just a case of a dead cell phone or something.

Mel is correct, it is indeed George Miller. He was friends with Phil & Ted of PlaneTalk at Lockhart and they were discussing it on Saturday.
