Small plane towed to Boca Raton park day after emergency landing in Atlantic Ocean
- On Saturday, a lone pilot landed a Piper PA30 aircraft in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Boca Raton, emerging uninjured after bringing the plane down in shallow water.
- The aircraft departed Page Field in Fort Myers, heading to Bimini Airport in the Bahamas; WZVN-TV identified the pilot as 23-year-old Faith Tenkley, who has flown for four years.
- While the plane began experiencing issues, the pilot made an in-flight decision to land in the ocean rather than at Boca Raton Airport, avoiding populated areas near Ocean Boulevard and East Palmetto Park Road.
- Crews were scheduled to remove the plane from the water on Sunday, Aug. 23, while the Federal Aviation Administration leads the investigation into the emergency landing.
- Often used for training, the plane generally seats up to six people and flies at speeds of 165 to 200 mph; the FAA will issue a report following an examination of the aircraft.
