Sagaponack Pilot Kent Feurring Perishes in Plane Crash in EH

T.J. Clementeby T.J. Clemente

John Musnicki

Kent L. Feurring, age 57, of Sagaponack who also was president of the East Hampton Aviation Association was killed approximately at 12:30 pm, Thursday Oct 6th, when his small one engine plane, a Seamax M-22, came tumbling down into a corner of Three-Mile- Harbor.

 

The Seamax M-22 is a Brazilian single-engine, amphibious light sport aircraft and Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight. Originally manufactured by AirMax Construções Aeronáuticas of Jacarepaguá and called the Airmax SeaMax, since 2015 it has been built by Seamax Aircraft of Sao Paulo.

 

Eyewitnesses observed separation of a wing that preceded the plane’s sudden and violent descent from the huge blue sky into the shallow waters just off (Jeff Briggs) East Hampton Marina 19 Boatyard Drive in East Hampton. The plane had reportedly just left East Hampton Town Airport at 12:19, only some eleven minutes earlier.

 

Mr. Feurring described himself on Facebook as “A single father, a filmmaker and a pilot,… who lives in Sagaponack but is from Miami.” His schooling included Miami County Day School, Harvard University, University of Miami and University of Miami.

 

His plane exploded upon impact according to eyewitnesses. Within minutes an East Hampton Police officer responding to a 9-1-1 call was at the scene. A perimeter area was then established until the coroner could inspect the body. Later East Hampton Police located a wing of the aircraft by using a drone. It was hanging in a nearby tree not far from a longtime osprey nest in the small cove.

 

By sundown on Thursday (Oct 6th) the wreckage of the plane was being offloaded from three small vessels by the East Hampton Marine Patrol to be investigated by the F.A.A., the National Transportation Board, and the Suffolk County medical examiner’s office. Small plane accidents by the separation of a single wing are very rare. On most small planes the spars run all the way through the wings, connecting in a “wing box” on the bottom of the fuselage, ensuring that the wings cannot snap off. Rainer Groh, the writer behind the Aerospace Engineering Blog, was quoted as saying, “The only possible way for an airplane wing to snap off (in good weather) would be bad maintenance.”

 

An example of the many sympathetic posts on Mr. Feurring’s Facebook page is exemplified by the post of Scarlet Magda who posted, “Heartbreaking to lose one of the good ones. Kent Feurring was a passionate, meticulous pilot, steward of our community and helped navigate many difficult situations at our local airport. All I can say is at least he died doing what he loved most, and you just never know when it’s going to end, so practice gratitude and live each day like it’s your last. Rest in peace Kent. I appreciate you sharing your beloved aviation world with me.”

 

By sundown on Thursday (Oct 6th) the wreckage of the plane was being offloaded from three small vessels by the East Hampton Marine Patrol to be investigated by the F.A.A. the National Transportation Board, and the Suffolk County medical examiner’s office.

 

It must be noted as president of the East Hampton Aviation Association Kent Feurring participated in the official conversation concerning the fate of East Hampton Town Airport including a panel of moderation that was assembled to discuss it. That panel was moderated (with “fair balance” for all) by Joseph Shaw, executive editor at Express Newspaper Group. The panel consisted of Kent Feurring, president of the East Hampton Aviation Association; Barry Raebeck, co-founder of Say No To KHTO; Kathryn Slye Allen, of the East Hampton Aviation Association; John Kirrane of Noyac Citizens Advisory Committee and Southampton Town Anti-Aircraft Noise Committee, and East Hampton Town Board member Jeffrey Bragman.

 

On April 27, 2022 Kent Feurring himself posted this “Impressions of a Pilot” saying, “Flight is freedom in its purest form, to dance in the clouds which follow a storm. To roll and glide, to wheel and spin, to feel the joy that swells within; To leave the earth with its troubles and fly, and know the warmth of a clear spring sky. Then back to earth at the end of day, released from the tensions which melted away, Should my end come while I am in flight, whether the brightest or darkest night: spare me your tears and shrug off the pain, secure in the knowledge that I’d do it again. For each of us is created to die, and within me I know, I was born to fly.”

“The End” Documentary About Gardiner’s Island to Premiere at HIFF

“The End” Documentary About Gardiner’s Island to Premiere at HIFF

  • Dust off your favorite witch’s hat and opt for a paddleboard instead of a broom for Paddle Diva & Wych’s Bloom’s inaugural Witches Paddle on Wednesday, October 29, from 4–6 p.m. at Paddle Diva (10 Boat Yard Rd., East Hampton, NY). A portion of the proceeds will go to the Surfrider Foundation’s Eastern Long Island Chapter and its efforts to protect the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches through dedicated activism. ⁠
⁠
We’ve all seen Witches Paddles grace our social media feeds, and now you can partake in the spooky fun! This tradition combines Halloween vibes with the healing power of nature as you glide and take in the beautiful Three Mile Harbor views.⁠
⁠
Gina Bradley excitedly shared, “I am thrilled to be hosting this at Paddle Diva’s permanent location inside Swan’s Marina (formerly Vanderveer’s). This kind of paddle has been on my mind for many years, as I’ve seen them in all parts of the world, and it looks so cool seeing all the witches gracefully gliding along the water. This is particularly exciting because we’ve joined forces with Wych’s Bloom, a local herbal apothecary brand, and Surfrider to raise money and awareness for ocean and clean bay initiatives that are crucial for our waters on the East End of Long Island.”⁠
⁠
“As an herbalist, Samhain, or Halloween, offers a special occasion for me to celebrate the healers who came before us to teach the wisdom of the plants in our region. I had seen people gathering for Witches Paddles all over the country, and as a surfer, I connected instantly with these events. When I texted Gina the idea, she was immediately in. That’s what I love about the women on the East End—they’re always up for an adventure,” shared Wych’s Bloom owner and Surfrider Foundation board member Christina Winters.⁠
⁠
Join us in taking part in this one-of-a-kind event! Craft a witch’s outfit and set sail at the inaugural Witches Paddle for a great cause.⁠

  • From Hollywood red carpets to Milan exhibits and Hamptons fashion shoots, Filbert Kung has photographed the world—but it’s his quiet, unguarded, and attentive nature that reveals the artist behind the lens.⁠ @filbert_kung 
⁠
I met Filbert Diego Kung at a Grey/Ven fashion event in Amagansett last summer. He’s one of those rare photographers who instantly puts you at ease—calm, composed, and naturally good at making anyone feel like they belong in front of his lens. Had I known then just how in-demand Filbert is in the fashion and photography world, I probably wouldn’t have asked him to snap a few shots of me goofing off on the red carpet. But maybe that makes me a model? Either way, it was my first glimpse of how effortlessly he captures people as they are. In my case, goofy-but-make-it-chic.⁠
⁠
Since then, I’ve seen him popping up around the Hamptons, often between flights to LA, Miami, or wherever the next big editorial or campaign takes him. Originally from the Philippines, Filbert has spent over fifteen years building a career that bridges Hollywood red carpets, high-fashion editorials, and fine art portraiture. ⁠
