SAN FRANCISCO - Two small airplanes collided in midair over San Pablo Bay on Sunday and one of the aircraft went down in the water, CBS San Francisco reported.
A single-engine Cessna 210 and a single-engine Hawker Sea Fury TMK 20 collided around 4:05 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said. Each plane had one person on board.
The Hawker was able to land safely at Eagle's Nest Airport, but the Cesna went down in the bay, the FAA said. San Pablo Bay is a tidal estuary that forms the northern extension of San Francisco Bay.
The Hawker pilot was believed to be uninjured but the pilot of the Cessna was missing.
Four Coast Guard boats and one Coast Guard helicopter were searching for the missing pilot but so far they have only found debris, Coast Guard Petty Officer Loumania Stewart said.
Other agencies are assisting the Coast Guard in the search and rescue operation, Stewart said.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the collision.
