The body of a pilot killed when his plane crashed into a New Jersey home has been recovered as the investigation into the doomed flight continues. The crash happened around 11 a.m. Tuesday on Berkley Avenue near Princeton Avenue in Colonia.
The 74-year-old pilot, Dr. Michael Schloss, was said to be an experienced pilot who was flying from Leesburg, Virginia, to Linden Airport.
"The pilot was communicating with air traffic control and was cleared for an approach into Linden Airport and the airplane subsequently lost radar contact," the NTSB said. "We have no information that there was a distress call made from the pilot."
Schloss worked in New York City, but his plane was based in Linden. He was supposed to give a lecture at New York Presbyterian on Wednesday.
"Dr. Schloss was an amazing man, I've known him over 30 years, I've been here in Linden for 36 and he was here for most of that time, he was really a renaissance man in the true sense of the word -- he was a renowned cardiac doctor and he was very generous in that he used his specialty to help pilots that may be having difficulties getting through the FAA's medical certification for instance," said Paul Dudley, the general manager of Linden Airport.
