Plane down in Hudson River
2759M? My logbook indicates I flew that plane from 4B6-1B1-N87 on
7/13/2001. As I recall, NY Approach wouldn't talk to me that day, so I flew the corridor under the Class B. It looked like this: http://bill.from.net/repub/dcp03766.jpg Yeah. It is (or was) a Warrior. Happier times as indicated by other sights in the photo. Roy Smith wrote: In article , Jose wrote: I'm surprised they couldn't have glided to shore The NY Times reported that they glided engineless for eleven minutes. They'd have to be a balloon, or at umpty thousand feet. Of course, the Times may have gotten it wrong. The Times also described the plane as "two-seat, single-engine Piper Arrow 28, also known as a Piper Warrior". Elsewhere in the article, they call it a "Piper Arrow". The FAA database says N2759M is a PA-28-161. I can only guess that the reporter saw "PA" and figured that must stand for "Piper Arrow". |
