As skydivers, we always prepare ourselves on skydives for this type of situation with the take-offs and landings. Something not so expected on the travel part of a flight.

(CBS/AP) Searchers combing through wreckage Tuesday found the last three victims among 10 killed when their plane crashed in Washington's rugged central Cascade Range on their way home from a skydiving event. Bodies of seven of the 10 people aboard were found Monday. Recovery crews found the rest on Tuesday, said Nisha Marvel, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation's aviation division. The aircraft was found Monday evening at about 7:40 p.m. at the 4,600-foot level in the White Pass area, reports CBS affiliate KIMA-TV. The tail was missing from the plane, and has not been found.

The plane left Star, Idaho, near Boise, on Sunday evening en route to Shelton, Wash., northwest of Olympia, but did not arrive.
