Glen M. de Vries, 49, of New York, NY, and Thomas P. Fisher, 54, of the Jefferson portion of Lake Hopatcong, were both aboard the single-engine Cessna 172 that crashed in a wooded area of a state park near Lake Kemah in Hampton on Nov. 11, DailyVoice.com reported.

de Vries and Fischer departed from Caldwell’s Essex County Airport, flying for just under 20 minutes and reaching a 6,400-feet altitude until the flight data was lost during a “steep descending left turn,” according to NJ.com, which cites a report from the National Transportation Safety Boards.
