I remember the day I heard that a plane of my flight school crashed a little more than a year after I was flying it the last time. Together with my mother-in-law Sigi and our friends Kanaan and Tobias we had a beautiful flight with this very modern Cessna 172S, equipped with auto pilot and GPS (which was very advanced for that time!) through the Hudson Corridor along Manhattan. Making a low turn around \u201cThe Lady\u201d Statue of Liberty on to the Verrazano Bridge connecting Staten Island with Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
The plane flown by a very experienced instructor was overloaded and crashed on the beach at Coney Island. Find some pictures from our beautiful flight and the disaster and the accident report from the NTSB on the N778LP<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I remember the day I heard that a plane of my flight school crashed a little more than a year … <\/p>\n
