UAL pilot missing in Turbo Aztec off Bahamas
A UAL pilot, Bancroft Nyack is one of two persons missing after a Piper Aztec F Turbo N2848R, lost both engines and descended into the Ocean in the Bahamas yesterday around 11:30 10 miles northeast of Acklin Island.
There is a large scale search going on in the area, and hoping for a positive outcome.
A Falcon 10 passing overhead heard the distress calls, talked with the pilot, and passed on the info to Miami Center who sent the US Coast Guard.
