The 62-year-old pilot, who is uninjured and was the only person on board, had flown out of Skyranch Airport in Knoxville before his engine failed just shy of Island Home Airport.
The pilot was flying a Flightstar ultralight plane. It is submerged in 15 feet of water, the fire department said in a press release.
This hits close to home. I’m 90% sure I know the pilot based on the description of the plane and location. Glad he made it out ok.
