Missing plane off Nauset

[HugeDinghy]

Hoax? What’s the deal? All the articles i see don’t give much info other than there was a search and it’s been called off.

from what i've heard the pilot was flying up from the mid atlantic region to chatham. Last contact with the plane was about 3 1/2 miles off nauset. no distress signal. no mayday. just disappeared.

And no debris as of yet either . . .

"The Air Force reported to the Coast Guard around 10:30 p.m. that there was a possible downed aircraft four miles east of Sampson Island. The FAA reported the aircraft missing around 10 p.m. Sunday night.

The plane’s last transmitted transponder signal was at 6:49 p.m., descending at 4,000 feet per minute."

Be nice if they gave the public the tail number. At least we can track the flight patch.

4,000 feet a minute is pretty quick for a piper

Yeah, and I'm betting that it wasn't a controlled descent.

I've been told

Flew non stop from PA. to Chatham air port .Never called Chatham for landing.

Should have landed about 630pm and had to start over the water for a gps landing after dark.

Had a buddy waiting at airport, that's all.

  I think he ran out of gas and dropped

Harbormasters from three towns left shore about8-8.30pm.

Coast Guard flew over about 10ish.

Monday local boats,

C.G. ships, copters and large planes covered 2000sq miles

I would guess he landed in A1's bassen spot.

Anyway----prayers needed.

Ugh ran out of gas? That sucks. Crashing in general sucks but how freaking preventable was this.

Divers went down on the wreck this morning and the pilot was not found Peace and Prayers

Neither the pilot nor his personal gear have been found yet despite multiple dives in the area.
