Crews were searching the northern part of San Francisco Bay for a pilot after two small planes collided while heading home from a show, sending one aircraft crashing into the water while the other one safely reached its destination.
Debris was found in San Pablo Bay after Sunday afternoon's collision near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, Coast Guard Petty Officer Loumania Stewart said. Crews have not found signs of the downed pilot, but officials said they planned to search through the night.
The collision involved a single-engine Cessna 210 and a single-engine Hawker Sea Fury TMK 20, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said.
The Cessna went into the bay and the Sea Fury's pilot was able to land 40 minutes later at Eagle's Nest Airport in the small Northern California city of Ione, Gregor said.
