Just saw a report on facebook stating a P-47 from the American Airpower Museun went down in the Hudson River today. The pilot had to ditch and according to the report I heard, it is not know if the pilot made it out okay.

There is video of the crash on the NYDN link.
I dont think its Dan Dameo. Either way, pilot is OK.
We've lost Jacky's Revenge. Well, that sucks.

The original NJSPD Twitter feed was wrong!! They said they had the pilot but it was only someone who jumped in water to help. But that didn't stop the Media from running with the story which they have since backtracked on. I'm sadly hearing it's not a rescue mission anymore but a recovery!!
Sadly, they just recovered the pilots body.
Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.
Awful tragedy.
Makes me feel a little awkward about going tomorrow.
Anyone have a schedule of when each of the performers will be over the beach for tomorrow?
Read all the reports ... I am deeply sadden of the news. A few of us were by the field yesterday evening and watched her depart. My condolences and prayers to all. Today will be filled with heavy hearts .... RIP
One of my favorite planes every year and my favorite of the AAM fleet. So sorry to everyone who knew the pilot.
