Authorities continue to search for information about a plane crash north of Silver Bay, Minn.

A twin engine piper flown by 67-year-old Mike Bratlie of Lakeville disappeared last Friday.

"Unfortunately, the area of the highest probability is wooded and rough terrain and very difficult to see an aircraft that might have gone down," said Keith Bischoff of the Minnesota Civil Air Patrol.

Six aircraft and two ground teams are involved in the search.

Bratlie is a retired Navy and Northwest Airlines pilot and was breaking in a new engine with a round-trip flight from St. Paul to Duluth.
