Courtland Lee Mumford, known as Court, vanished from the Portland, Oregon area on July 7, 2007. A 65-year-old retired commercial airline pilot and active triathlete, he took off from Aurora Airport shortly after 5:00 a.m. in a bright yellow 2007 Cub Crafters Sports Cub, tail number N222TB, on a local familiarization flight and never returned. His family reported him missing that night.

Mumford was in excellent health and had roughly 27,000 flight hours. He was last seen wearing a possibly logoed polo-style shirt, white ASICS tennis shoes with stripes, white calf-length sport socks, and a gold wedding band. Distinctive scars included one on his abdomen and scars on both shoulders and knees. The aircraft’s range, with a full tank, was about 400 miles.

Neither the plane’s emergency locator transmitter nor Mumford’s cell phone emitted signals after the flight. Extensive searches by the Portland Police Bureau and volunteer groups such as the Missing Aircraft Search Team have found no trace; searchers have urged hikers, hunters, and coastal visitors to watch for crumpled yellow cloth or broken tree limbs. Does anyone have information about a possible crash site or saw the plane that morning?
