Found this little blurb from the NTSB's twitter account: "NTSB investigating today's crash of a Cirrus SR22 into the Atlantic Ocean about 50 miles from Wallops Island, VA." and "searching in the Atlantic about 50 miles east of Wallops Island."
And one local newsfeed: "The plane is a single-engine Cirrus (tail number N930RH) registered to Ronald Hutchinson of Brookfeld, Wis., according to Federal Aviation Administration records."
Then this:
"According to Peter Knudson with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the plane was on a flight path from Waukesha, Wisconsin to Manassas, Virginia.
The plane went without contact with air traffic control for over 90 minutes, diverged from its flight path and crashed into the ocean.
Knudson did not have any information on if the plane has been located or if any of its occupants have been found."
Hope there is a good outcome, but it doesn't sound promising. Damn.
Edit just saw this from a local news feed there:
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -
A Cirrus SR22 recreational plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean Saturday, about 50 miles from Wallops Island, Va. The Coast Guard reported one person was on board.
A Coast Guard team from Elizabeth City, N.C. responded to the crash site, and the NTSB signaled Saturday afternoon it has started an investigation into the crash.
This is a developing story that will be updated as the Coast Guard provides more information this evening.
