OCALA – Air Force officials are looking for a radio-controlled  
surveillance plane that disappeared Tuesday in Marion County.

According to an Ocala Police Department press release, the drone was  
being used in a training exercise in a vacant field next to the  
McPherson Governmental Complex on Southeast 25th Avenue when it flew  
east without responding to commands.

The plane has a wingspan of about six feet but weighs just a few  
pounds. The press release said it may have landed anywhere between  
Southeast 25th Avenue and the Ocala National Forest area.

The Air Force did say that the unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, was  
not equipped with a camera when it disappeared Tuesday.

Anyone who finds the plane can call Friedman at 910-382-6492.
