On January 13, 2013, a Piper 28R-200 Cherokee Arrow B was en route from Georgia, and contacted Dover Air Force Base with a PAN (three repetitions of pan-pan signify an urgency on board) before crashing in heavy fog.
At 7:10, Dover initiated a search for the Cherokee Arrow. Fire services from Camden, Cheswold, Dover, Frederica, Hartly and Leipsic searched; the Little Creek Fire Company found the wreckage in Delaware at 9:35.
The pilot’s body was recovered from the scene.
