Missing aircraft turns up in everglades near Homestead, FL
2017-07-09
[Daily Mail] An alligator was spotted by a news crew in a helicopter next to the wreckage of a small airplane crash in the Florida Everglades devouring the victim's body.

The single-engine Cessna 152 was found in a swampy area roughly seven miles west of Homestead, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The FAA said the pilot was the only person on board and his name has not been released.

The news crew inside of WPLG's helicopter spotted the alligator eating the crash victim's body near the wreckage.
Student pilot, unauthorized night-time solo flight, no flight plan filed. What could have possibly been his destination and intentions ?

#3  Two of my high school classmates died while taking off at night in a flight school plane without permission or experience.

At least they weren't eaten by an alligator.

#2  "Swampy area"? That is the everglades, in fact seven miles west might well put him in the boundaries of the national park assuming the plane left Homestead general aviation airport on the edge of the east everglades.

#1  Perhaps an alligator culling gone awry?
