HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Two Mokulele Airline pilots were honored for their heroic efforts after they stepped into action when they saw a plane crash into waters off the Lanai airport.
The incident happened in February when a single-engine aircraft crashed about eight miles off of Lanai.
When Captain Justin Constantino and First Officer Jeremy Delia saw the plane crash into the water, the Mokulele crew circled the wreckage until it sank.
