LOUISIANA: "The 30-year-old private pilot presumed dead aboard a Cessna Skyhawk that plunged into Lake Pontchartrain was an expectant father and Navy officer stationed in Gulfport. The U.S. Navy has confirmed the identity of Lt. David Michael Jahn with permission from his family. The U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday afternoon suspended a search for Jahn and the flight instructor aboard the plane, Taylor Dickey, who was also 30 years old.

Jahn and Dickey were on a training flight from Gulfport to New Orleans in a single-engine Cessna from Apollo Flight Training and Aircraft Management. The Lakefront Airport in New Orleans reported losing communication Monday evening with the Cessna when the plane was about 4 miles north of the airport. The family relayed a statement about Jahn through Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. Jahn was a civil engineer corps officer serving with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1 in Gulfport. His awards and decorations included Navy and Marine Corps commendation and achievement medals, and a National Defense Service Medal.

There was no distress call from the Cessna, Carastro said. It was serviced every 100 hours, he said, in addition to a more detailed annual inspection."
