Sagaponack Pilot Kent Feurring Perishes in Plane Crash in EH

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

  • Whether you are walking the fast-paced streets of New York City or taking a leisurely beach stroll in the Hamptons, there’s a slight chance you might run into Elias Friedman, known online as “The Dogist.” His adoration of dogs, combined with his passion for photography, has led him to gain over 7 million followers on Instagram. The audience at his recent Guild Hall show reflects how much people truly love their dogs and how Elias does so much more than simply take picture-perfect dog portraits. He can capture the beautiful bond between man and his best friend. His book, This Dog Will Change Your Life, is already a New York Times bestseller. Guild Hall’s lobby was filled with fans excited to get their copy signed.⁠
⁠
His guests included local dog lovers and friends of ARF (Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons). Attendees had front-row seats to a “Dogist”-style encounter: a casual conversation about how the dog entered the owner’s life, followed by a quick photo shoot revealing Elias’ methods for capturing the dog’s attention (hint: It’s dog noises and treats).⁠
⁠
I had the pleasure of talking to Elias about how “The Dogist” came to be, rescue organizations, and the Hamptons.⁠
⁠
⁠
Let’s go back to the beginning. What inspired you to dive into photography?⁠
⁠
We had a dark room because my dad was an amateur photographer, and I’d always liked cameras and gadgets. We had a couple of Labrador retrievers who were sort of my first muses and would happily sit for pictures. I was taking dog pictures from a young age and then fast forward to 2012 in New York City I was let go from my job and saw what other street photographers were doing like Humans of New York and The Sartorialist and thought why isn’t someone doing that for dogs and I thought I wanted to be the person, I dusted off my camera and the rest is kind of history. It took off pretty quickly because it turns out people like dogs just as much as I do.⁠

  • The Hamptons have seen their fair share of collaborations and takeovers this summer. Still, nothing compares to The h.wood Group and Chase Sapphire Reserve’s transformation of Montauk hotspot Mary Lou’s into Delilah Montauk.⁠
⁠
The four-day takeover combined unforgettable dining experiences with show-stopping live entertainment featuring performances by Zack Bia, Alesso, Gwen Stefani, and DJ Pee.Wee (Anderson Paak). ⁠
⁠
Exclusively for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders, diners were treated to white glove hospitality and Delilah’s staples, including the famous chicken tenders and tuna tartare, and bold twists on Hamptons classics like lobster rolls, striped bass crudo, and crab and avocado toast.
