A small private plane crashed into the water off Newport Beach on Sunday evening, killing at least three people, Newport Beach police said.
"Whether or not we have more victims, I don't know," Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Burdette said.
The single-engine Beechcraft Musketeer was traveling from Mexico to Torrance when the crash occurred at about 5:45 p.m., according to Ian Gregor, a
spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Carlos Fiesta has or had or rented a Musketeer and based at Torrance. Sure hope it isn't him.

Ditto. I met Carlos Fiesta at David K's "Amigo" party several years ago, and the identities of the passengers are not yet being released to the
public.

According to NBC4 News, the pilot was running low on fuel, he radioed traffic controllers, and he could not make it to the street outside of Fashion
Island where he was prepared to land. Yes, it is a Musketteer plane based in Torrance - possibly a rental.

well i am hoping for the best but if it is NOT a friend then there are way too many coincidences here.
Torrance is not an AOE tho for customs so he must have come from Brown or Calexico. Should have had plenty of gas if he topped.
again - WX was CRAPPY!! my friend was not IFR rated but even that doesn't help depending on many variables and what class of plane you're in.
troubling...

can't speculate who was officially on board but i know who traveled in it regularly. :? itto who was piloting the Beech, but most likely the owner.

very sad day for baja enthusiasts - if it was CF
Three people died Sunday evening when a commuter plane owned by a real estate agent from Palos Verdes Estates crashed in the Newport Beach Back Bay,
according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The single-engine Beechcraft Muskateer was flying from Mexico to Torrance Airport when it crashed into the water about 5:45 p.m., said FAA spokesman
Ian Gregor.
The plane was reported to be upside down in the water, and all three people on board were believed to be dead, Gregor said.
The plane is registered to Chuck Chambers, a prominent real estate agent based in Palos Verdes Estates.
It was unknown whether Chambers was on board at the time of the crash.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash, Gregor said.

Chuck Chambers did not look like Carlos Fiesta, but I don't know if Carlos Fiesta would possibly have been a passenger. No Se.

Carlos Fiesta...
My friend, Carlos Fiesta (aka Chuck Chambers), did the entire Baja Peninsula from San Pedro to the mouth of the Colorado River. I' sure he would love
to talk to you about your adventure! Email him at: carlosfiesta@hotmail.com He loves to talk Baja!!!
He is a great guy. I have known him since High School and can tell you he has not changed at all. He has driven all over the Baja Peninsula for the
past 30 years and many trips by private plane as a pilot/small aircaft owner. I can also vouch that he had no prior sea/ocean experience other than
one trip around the Palos Verdes Peninsula wth me and a few houseboat trips to Lake Mead/Powell and oh yeah, he hates to work on mechanical
things...leaves it to the pros. He found a 19' Fijian Panga with a used 40hp motor, loaded it up with a lot of 5 gallon gas cans, an inflatable boat,
sleeping pad/bag, a small amout of food (I'm not sure if he took tools), a new AAA Baja Map and one month experience with a new GPS. A little over 30
days from taking off from San Pedro, our friend, Dave Dennis, picked him up with a boat trailer in San Felipe after he had reached the mouth of the
Colorado River. The Panga now resides at Juan y Juan's in San Juanico and is still used for fishing and an occasional surfing expedition to the secret
surf spot. Carlos has not been back on the boat since. Go figure.
