case details:
Major was last seen refueling his white and blue Cessna Cardinal 177 at an airport in Vicksburg, Mississippi on November 4th, 1983. He was en route to pick up parts for his combine tractor in the Vicksburg area. Witnesses at the airport stated that Major looked as if he was not feeling well. After picking up the combine parts, he lifted off sometime between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. A teacher and the children in her class at a Vicksburg elementary school saw Major's plane fly overhead as they were going inside to get out of the rain. He never made it back to his private airstrip at his residence in Kilbourne, Louisiana. Authorities and volunteers searched for Major for two weeks but were unsuccessful in their efforts to locate him or any sign of his plane. Major’s case remains unsolved at this time. Both he and his airplane remain missing at this time.
