Still no news on this one, I guess it's not looking too hopeful.

Courtesy of an email from Batfink, the L-410 in question has been found 11,800 feet up in the Andes mountain range.  HK-4055 had left Bogota on Monday (08/10) en-route to somewhere in southern Colombia.

Associated Press are reporting that there is no chance of finding any survivors and has suggested that the aircraft had run into bad weather, ultimately causing a CFIT.
