A co-pilot who mysteriously exited a small plane without a parachute 3,500 feet above North Carolina on July 29 was “visibly upset” about a prior hard landing and “apologized” before departing the aircraft, according to a preliminary National Transportation Safety Board report, WRAL-TV said.
The body of Charles Hew Crooks, 23, was found in a Fuquay-Varina backyard hours after the pilot-in-command landed the plane at Raleigh-Durham International Airport that same day, the station said.
