TRENTON (WGME) -- Maine State Police have identified the two people who died in a plane crash at the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton on Thursday.
The FAA says a single-engine Cirrus SR22 crashed on approach to the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport around 12:25 p.m.
There was heavy fog at the time of the crash. No word yet if that played a role.
The pilot and passenger were the only two people on board the plane, according to the FAA. The pilot was 71-year-old Michael Leibowitz of Charleston, South Carolina, and the passenger was 57-year-old Christina Chung of Livingston, New Jersey.
The aircraft had taken off from Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey.
According to the Bangor Daily News, the plane appeared to be registered to a company out of South Carolina.
