Two small airplanes collided midair at about 4 p.m. Sunday, leaving one pilot missing after one of the planes landed in the bay, Coast Guard spokeswoman Loumania Stewart said.
The collision happened over the northern part of the San Francisco Bay and involved a Cessna 210 and a Hawker Sea Fury TMK 20, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said.
The Cessna crashed into the water, while the pilot of the Hawker was able to land safely at a small airport in Northern California about 40 minutes away and was reportedly uninjured along with his wife who was also in the plane.
