23-Year-Old Pilot Uninjured, Swims To Shore After Ditching Plane In Atlantic Ocean

Beachgoers in Boca Raton, Florida, were treated to an unexpected and dramatic sight on Saturday morning when a twin-piston Piper monoplane from the PA-30 Twin Comanche series ditched in the Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft’s sole occupant was its pilot, a 23-year-old woman by the name of Faith Tenkley. Tenkley had been flying her family’s plane to the Bahamas to pick up her parents at the time.
