Loved ones are opening up about the loss of beloved pilot, Marianne Fox.
Fox died after a plane crash in St. Augustine this past week. She was an Oregon native who had been completing a cross-country trip from her home state when she issued a distress call.“Loving,” “caring” and “dedicated” are a few adjectives that pilot Jim Bourke used to describe his fiancée, Marianne Fox.STORY:Fox’s flight tracker showed she went from Keystone Heights to St. Augustine when she began to lose speed and altitude.
Fox was flying in an aerobatic plane, but Bourke said this short flight had nothing to do with aerobatics. Bourke explained to Action News Jax that he did his best to guide her to a safe landing, but she ended up off the runway into a marshy area and was trapped upside down in the cockpit. He said he landed as fast as he could but wasn’t able to get to her.
“I do know she survived the initial accident, I know she wasn’t at least terribly injured because I saw her at the hospital she was still breathing and had a heartbeat, but she didn’t regain consciousness, so I was able to be with her there,” he said. “The doctors I talked to told me she had drowned, that’s what I understand about what had happened.”The two met about 17 years ago and had been dating for the past 10 years.
