By NPT Staff - July 6th, 2017

A pilot was killed Thursday in the crash of a single-engine plane deep within Everglades National Park in Florida.

Park officials said the pilot, whose name was not immediately released, was believed to be the only one aboard the Cessna 152. His body was recovered Thursday afternoon, they said.

Due to the crash site being in extremely remote, rugged wilderness terrain, accessible only by airboat, officials involved say that water levels and safety concerns will dictate their ability to recover the aircraft.
