A Battle Ground man is missing after taking off Friday from Grove Field Airport in Camas, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

George Regis, 63, departed around noon from the airport, 632 N.E. 267th Ave., in a 1975 Rockwell Commander 112A — a fixed-wing, single-engine aircraft — and may have been headed toward Arizona or Texas, according to a sheriff’s office news release.

Regis’ last known location, based on cellphone data, was near Newberg, Ore., on Saturday, the news release said.

Pilots taking off from the Camas airport typically don’t have a flight plan, the news release states.

Anyone who finds Regis or his plane should call 911.
