A small medical transport plane with four people aboard went missing early Friday after the pilot reported smoke filling the cockpit, setting off a search across a densely forested mountain range in Humboldt County.The pilot of the Piper PA31 declared an emergency around 1 a.m. as he flew a flight nurse, a transport medic and a patient about 360 miles from Crescent City, near the Oregon border, to Oakland, officials said.The plane lost contact early in the flight path, the Federal Aviation Administration said.The pilot planned to return to Crescent City before vanishing from radar 5 miles north of the Arcata-Eureka Airport on the far northern coast, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.A crew on the ground is combing a remote area owned by a private timber company until thick fog lifts in the early afternoon.That's when a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter will assist in the search, said Lt. Wayne Hanson of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, which is leading the pursuit on the ground.
