"There I was..." Ed Regensburg & Jillian Harner

Photo Gallery

From the Air Safety Institute's "There I was..." podcast—

Join us on an adventure in the Caribbean as we talk to Ed Regensburg, Cirrus, and Lt. Jillian Harner, commander of a US Coast Guard HC-144.
 
Flying home after a trip to St. Croix, Ed was piloting a Cirrus SR22 with his friend, Dan Tucker, when a drop in oil pressure and subsequent engine failure forced them to pull the plane’s parachute and land in the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, a Coast Guard HC-144, led by Lt. Jillian Harner, heard the distress call and began the search and rescue mission.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Ed Regensburg and Jillian Harner story.

Below are some photos from Ed and Dan's incident.
