[200Pilot]

The aircraft that crashed in to the Hudson was a different Strikemaster owned by Andy/Dragon Air, but was being flown by Michael Faraldi.

The aircraft that crashed was N167SM google it. This looks to be N2146J also Andy Anderson was not the pilot of the aircraft that crashed.

thats a beauty of a plane. if it was pilot error, he killed it along with himself. at least he died doing what he loved,

[TheMemphisSlim]

Sadly, this aircraft was lost when it crashed in the Hudson river yesterday just north of New York City. The pilot is belived to have been killed. No word yet on a cause.

this plane crashed about 1:30 today like 5 miles away from my house. he was doing fly-bys for his friends and they say it seemed to have stalled and went stright down in to the water.

I just read (2/25/11) that a Strikemaster crashed in the Husdon river near Kingston NY. It was described as having a "Green Dragon" painted on it's nose, I was wondering if this is that aircraft. The report said that the pilot probably didn't survive. I hope it isn't him.

That was the aircraft. Sad. Different pilot though.

Kind of a turbine beechcraft. Must be fairly docile to fly.

This aircraft looks strangely majestic...

It is really great to see these aircraft still flying. Built an Airfix model of one as a child many years ago.
