A small plane crashed at South Bimini Airport in the Bahamas, on June 19th.
The Piper Aztec 27 plane, carrying two people, went down minutes after it took off from the airport.
Both occupants of the plane were killed in the crash. Their identities have not yet been released.
The accident is being investigated.
A small plane crashed around 5 miles east of South Bimini in the Bahamas, shortly before 2 p.m. on December 22.
The Air Force Rescue Coordination Center authorities informed the Miami Coast Guard 7th District watchstanders about a Cessna which was last seen on radar descending near South Bimini Airport, Bahamas. The Coast Guard watchstanders then deployed an HC-130 Hercules plane which located the submerged aircraft and the pilot shortly before 4 p.m.
The pilot, identified as 43-year-old David Pedroza, of Boca Raton, Florida, was transported to Air Station Miami. Authorities said he was in stable condition.
It is believed that the Cessna was en-route from Norman Cay, Bahamas, to Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport when it crashed.
