Plane that man fell from without parachute had lost wheel after takeoff and planned emergency landing, audio reveals
During the flight, one of the pilots called Fayetteville Air Traffic Control for help rerouting to RDU.The two co-pilots could be heard saying there was enough fuel to fly in the air for another four hours before having to land, before someone asks, “Quick question, how do you intend to land at Raleigh-Durham?”
The response from one of the men was, “Get as low as we can and I guess we’re going to put it on the belly.” Then, one of the pilots told authorities during a radio call that the co-pilot jumped from the plane without a parachute. The aircraft landed on a runway but the missing wheel caused it to spin out and skid onto the grass off the runway.The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will lead the investigation."I think he got that when he was a sophomore, he said a couple weeks ago, he wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world. He loved where he was."
