The ill-fated flight involved a small, single-engine aircraft owned and piloted by Sachs. The plane went down one nautical mile west of Petit Nevis, a tiny island in the Grenadines. The aircraft had departed from J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm, Bequia, around 12:11 p.m., with St. Lucia as its intended destination.
