She was fished out of the water at about 2:00 pm on Saturday. She told rescue personnel that there were three additional passengers on the plane.<\/p>\n<p>Reports are that the plane had been delivering newspapers to the island of St. Croix and was returning to St. Thomas after picking the passengers.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot of the plane has been identified as Kirby Hodge.<\/p>\n<p>Hodge is said to be a well-known businessman from Anguilla who owns Rainbow International Airlines which is responsible for air evacuation in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Capt. Drew Pearson, US Coast Guard Sector San Juan commander said the search will continue &#8220;as long as it is safe for our rescue crews to operate in the area as we continue to monitor the passing of Tropical Storm Rafael.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A source told DNO on Saturday night that the search has been called off because of weather conditions associated with the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Reports that all passengers on the plane were found have been proven false.<\/p>\n<p>Just one week ago an aircraft crashed at the V.C.
