A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Piper cub banner plane crashes




What: Single engine Piper cub banner plane owned by Paramount Air Services, of Middle Township
Where: hotel back yard- Cape May
When: Saturday
Who: Matthew Wolf
Why:The pilot dropped his AmeriHealth banner in a tree in a lakefront complex in Burleigh at about 5:40 p.m.

Update-After the engine quit, Wolf crossed North Wildwood Boulevard at Exit 6 of the Garden State Parkway, circled south aiming for the big mowed field of the exit's jug handle, but lacked altitude and momentum. After clipping the top of a tall tree, it plowed nose-first into the ground in the 60-foot-wide backyard of the Catalina Motel.

The pilot only suffered a broken nose.
