The dead man pulled from the water
off Breezy Point in Queens late Wednesday after a small plane went down
in the Atlantic Ocean was the only individual aboard the aircraft, the
National Transportation Safety Board said at a news briefing Thursday.
The NTSB is
leading the investigation into the crash of the Flight Design GMBH CTLS,
a single piston aircraft that went down around 7:30 p.m. after
departing Philadelphia en route to New Hampshire.
The pilot has been identified by police as James McGee of Rye, New Hampshire.
Heidi Moats, air safety investigator with the NTSB, said witnesses reported seeing the aircraft descend into the water.
