I'm not familiar with that airport, but if he filed a flight plan, how is it that NO radar in Salisbury, Ocean City, or any government (Wallops, Coast Guard, et al) noticed the blip disappear?
JW, I am familiar with that airport and my guess is that he never gained enough altitude to appear on any radar. The radar for that area would be Patuxent River.
There is no air traffic control radar at Salisbury, Ocean City, Wallops, etc.
Didn’t sound like he made it high enough to be picked up by radar
Sorry to hear about your dog Dennis.
So very sorry on the loss of your dog..
Prayers
