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:

Yeah. It is (or was) a Warrior. Happier times as indicated by other
sights in the photo.

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".
