Dolphins smarter than chimps
NORMAN WELLS, Northwest Territories, July 26 (UPI) -- Terry Johnson, a 75-year-old retired computer entrepreneur, has been missing in Canada's Northwest Territories since he set out on a solo flight Saturday.
His son, Jim, told The Denver Post the elder Johnson had been with other family members on a canoeing and fishing trip and was flying his single-engine Beechcraft A36 Bonanza back home when he vanished.
The younger Johnson said his father, a Longmont, Colo., man who founded the MiniScribe in the 1980s, last talked to Canadian air traffic officials Saturday morning when he was about 30 miles outside of Norman Wells, Canada.
"We are concerned," Jim Johnson told the Post.
"The most difficult part of this is we don't know where to look."
Canadian search and rescue teams searched for the elder Johnson into Sunday, but were slowed by thunderstorms, the newspaper said.
