Teddy Shepherd called 9-1-1 to tell them what he had found, "She didn't believe me, I don't believe, she sounded like, yeah right," says Shepherd. That's kind of understandable, considering what, he found. Using side scan sonar, Shepherd found a plane in about 25 feet of water in Big Creek Lake.
"I was looking around for structure, looking around for fish, bait trees just looking." He could hardly believe his eye when a plane appeared on the sonar screen.
The Mobile County Sheriff's Flotilla came to see for themselves and in just a few hours, "It's a single engine Beech craft Sierra it's to early to tell the year," says Mobile County Sheriff's Office spokesperson, Kate Johnson.
Fully intact the plane appears to be resting upside down, divers recovered a wheel and identification numbers. No remains were found inside.
"We're still trying to determine when we're going to remove the plane and who will remove it," says Johnson.
It could be weeks before the plane is removed. Talks are going on between the F.A.A., Mobile County Sheriff's Office and Mobile Area Water and Sewer System to determine who is responsible for the plane
