    Emergency Landing @ Robert Moses State Park

    In the past hour, a small plane with 3 people on board has made an emergency landing at Robert Moses State Park on the south shore of Long Island. Report that all occupants have been removed, no word on their condition.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    the plane was N8270M operated by Nassau Flyers, Inc. even though i rent from NFI i never flew that plane. i do remember the tail number from the radios during the fleet launches.


    sorry mike...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Nassau Flyers

    Any word on the type of aircraft? Or the condition of the folks on board?

    I used to rent their Arrow--seemed a little ratty at the time.

    I hope everyone's ok.
    It's the fares, stupid

    no i don't think it was the arrow... it was either a cherokee or a warrior. again, i didn't fly thier piper fleet so i don't know exactly.

    vodkagirl, it crashed in one of the lightly wooded areas. no trees or large stuff, just some small bushes.

    Newsday is reporting it as a Cherokee that landed in the dunes between fields 2 & 3. 3 aboard, all treated & released at a local hospital.
