A small plane went down in the Gulf of Mexico Thursday about three hours after two F-15 fighter jets tried to make contact with the unresponsive pilot, authorities said.

Two jets caught up with the Cessna at 8:45 EDT and were flying with it and monitoring it, but hadn't been able to make contact with the pilot, said North American Aerospace Defense Command spokesman John Cornelio.

The two F-15s from the New Orleans National Guard were already on a mission over the Gulf, Coast Guard Chief John Edwards said in a news release. The Jacksonville Air Traffic Control Center asked the military if jets could check on the plane that was orbiting near one of Eglin Air Force Base's warning areas over the Gulf, Edwards said. Eglin is located on Florida's Panhandle.

The jets' pilots reported that the Cessna's windshield was iced over and that the plane was fluctuating between 25,000 and 35,000 feet.

The Cessna went down at about 12:10 p.m., some 120 miles west of Tampa, Fla., said Petty Officer Elizabeth Boderland with the Coast Guard in New Orleans.

The plane landed softly in the water and was intact, floating right side up, Boderland said. A Coast Guard helicopter was responding and a patrol boat was about 90 miles away. Boderland did not know the condition of the pilot.

"The situation is pretty dynamic right now," Boderland said.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane was flying from Slidell, La., to Sarasota, Fla. She says one person was on board and that the FAA had been tracking the plane since it lost contact with the pilot at 9 a.m.

Federal Aviation Administration records show that the Cessna was registered to Lee H. Aviation in Wilmington, Del. The address listed on the FAA registry corresponds with that of Delaware Registry Ltd., a company that provides corporate services and registers both airplanes and yachts. A woman who answered the phone at Delaware Registry said the company does not give out information about its clients.

RIP to the pilot.  He was dead before the plane ever crashed.

Yep.  It certainly appears that way.

I was a Star Trek fan too. I think one of my favorite in the series was The Trouble With Trittles or something like that.  Didn't have a true favorite of the movies, I liked them all.

It was "The Trouble With Tribbles".  When the last movie came out my husband went with me to see it. The local fan club was taking pictures on a mock up of the Enterprise bridge, complete with phaser, tribble and other props. It was a $10 donation (went to charity) so I have a picture of me on the Enterprise holding a tribble. Another thing my kids give me a hard time about.  :)

I used to have a tribble ... hmmm ... wonder what happened to it ....

I was so excited when I saw the first Star Trek program, but couldn't watch it after that because we only had one TV and my husband wanted to watch something else.

Still watch the the reruns and movies.

We had a black and white tv and someone told us Spock was green so we went to my parents to watch their color tv to see if it was true!

Nanu nanu!
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
