CALHOUN, Ga. - The wreckage of a small jet was found Saturday in a remote area of northern Georgia, hours after the plane went missing from radar shortly after takeoff from the Atlanta area. A search began once the plane was reported missing Saturday morning, Gordon County Sheriff Chief Deputy Robert Paris told The Associated Press. Earlier, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that a Cessna Citation aircraft disappeared from radar around 10:10 a.m. about 50 miles (80 kilometres) north of Atlanta. The Cessna website describes the Citation as a small business jet. Snow was reported in the Atlanta area around the time of the takeoff but it was not known if weather was a factor.
