Narrative:
A Cessna 560 Citation Encore ditched into the Atlantic Ocean about 300 miles east of Fort Lauderdale. According the FAA there was one pilot on board.
The aircraft departed St. Louis Regional Airport, Illinois, USA at 18:36 UTC (13:36 local time) on a flight to Fort Lauderdale-Executive Airport, Florida, USA (KFXE). The aircraft climbed to the cruising altitude of FL390.
At some point in the flight ATC communication with the aircraft was lost. At 20:52 UTC the flight passed overhead KFXE at FL390, continuing on a heading of roughly 080°over the Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft was intercepted by two Homestead AFRES F-15’s shortly before it went down into the sea at about 21:47 UTC.

Small aircraft single pilot operations are very common

I’m still curious to know what happened to the pilot that he overflew the destination and wasn’t communicating with ATC… šŸ˜”

We have previously discussed that any comments about this crash being related to, and/or containing the Bermuda Triangle are not permitted, for the sake of not joking about a death. If you need any help with this, I suggest you look up a tutorial on how to scroll up.

Yeah a few people thought it was appropriate make that joke and the rest of us didn’t, rather avoid joking about that on this post.
