Richard B the EMT Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 While I didn't speak with the pilot at the time, I saw her at a drowning in Riis Park area/Gateway National Recreation Area. I was pleasantly surprised to find that NYPD had any female pilots, and has had her AS a pilot for over a decade. This is the second NYPD Aviation crash that I am aware of. The other was their Messerschmidt (spelling?), which crashed on landing practice sometime between 1989 and 1996 (sorry, unable to locate the news articles from that time). The landing skids splayed out, absorbing most of the energy of the crash, and pilot and observer both suffered back injuries in the previous crash.
