ANCHORAGE -- An aerial search was successful Friday in finding an overdue snowmachiner from Chefornak.

Alaska State Troopers says John Jimmie Sr. was located Friday walking along the coastline. There was no immediate on his condition.

Troopers say the ground search for the 60-year-old man last seen Wednesday leaving the village of Kasigluk was severely limited by break-up conditions.

State and federal agencies had four aircraft involved in Friday's search.
