Default Another jet in the Hudson
Small one this time. I was JUST reading in the current Flying magazine about someone that had ditched a prop plane into the Hudson many years before Sully. Then the helicopter and plane mid-air there. Now this one.

NY pilot's body recovered from crashed vintage jet - Yahoo! News

Quote:

KINGSTON, N.Y. – State police divers in New York have recovered a pilot's body from the cockpit of a vintage military jet that crashed into ice on the Hudson River near a Kingston airport.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Holly Baker says the body of 38-year-old Michael Faraldi, a podiatrist from Germantown, was removed around 3 p.m. Sunday. She says the aircraft was being lifted onto a barge.

The accident happened at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday near the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge midway between Albany and New York City.

Police say Faraldi was piloting the plane from Nashville, Tenn., to an airport in Ghent, N.Y. The jet, a British-made BAC 167 Strikemaster, had made a fuel stop at an airfield Johnstown, Pa., and did a flyover for friends at Kingston just before it crashed.
