RIP Cory...
NYPD is saying Lidle is dead. His passport was found in the street below.
RIP. Speechless.
Wow.
RIP. This is horrible.
CNN Miles OBrian reporting that it was Corey Lidle. Was making a turn to the south as it left a VFR coridor and entereing JFK airspace. Some reports are that the aircraft was trying to evade other trafic and lost control.
Other reports are that the aircraft simply entered a stall during the turn as it was already flying slow and was obviously didn't have much altitude to recover. Also, he was on the radio and might have experenced some mechanical difficulties so he could have easily gotten distracted. Cloud cover was around 1,800 feet so it's not inconcevable that he might have gotten into some soup and lost control. Any of these scenarios make sense.
He was certified as a pilot last off-season and had about 400 hours as a pilot.
New reports are that Lidle was alone in the aircraft.
