Another victim is laid to rest in the ongoing saga of Air France Flight 447. This victim is neither Brazilian nor French. Among those whose remains were recently recovered and identified, Harpist Fatma Ceren Necipoglu was returned to Turkey on November 22, 2011, nearly two and a half years after the June 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447.
When she went to the Rio Harp Festival to perform two recitals, she never expected to be returning as a memory.
After a ceremony at Sisli’s Tesvikiye Mosque, Necipoglu was laid to rest. She was a 1999 graduate of the Department of Harp in Louisiana State University’s School of Music and piano and harp lecturer at the Anadolu University.

What: two-seat single-engine plane (2006 Flight Design CTSW) (not pictured) Where: Avon Lake’s Walker Road Park When: 4 pm Who: Pilot Roger Johnson and passenger Matthew Wilson Why: Experienced engine trouble over Lake Erie. He was heading for Lorain County Airport but after more engine trouble, air traffic controllers directed him to land at Walker Road Park/ and a field belonging to a local stable. The frozen ground plus the fact that the property had been mowed contributed to the successful landing.
