MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (WHTM) – A small plane has been removed from the Susquehanna River where it crash-landed nearly two weeks ago.

The Piper PA-46 was removed Wednesday afternoon by a helicopter from Anglin Aircraft Recovery Services then flown to Harrisburg International Airport for disassembly.

The plane’s owner, Barjack Aviation, LLC, of Florida, was obligated to pay for the aircraft’s removal via its insurance company.

Anglin crews used a three-point rigging system to properly tether the plane and then attach it to a large shackle lowered from the helicopter before it was slowly pulled from the water.

The plane was headed from Rochester, New York, to HIA on Oct. 4 when its engine failed, forcing the pilot to land in shallow water about half a mile north of Three Mile Island.

A man and woman on board had minor injuries.

Anglin crews will take the plane apart in the coming days before its driven to Delaware and placed in a storage facility.

There, the National Transportation Safety Board and/or Federal Aviation Administration may further evaluate what went wrong.

Both the FAA and NTSB were previously involved with the investigation.
