A plane that went missing from Buttonville Airport two weeks ago has been located, and human remains have been recovered.

Authorities looking for the missing aircraft used a sonar scan and a remote operated vehicle to find a portion of the aircraft’s fuselage.

The Cessna owned by a Calgary company vanished from radar August 5 as it was attempting to land in heavy rain and thick fog at Sydney Airport.
