With the pilot flying the chopper that crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday having been identified as Sean Johnson, his last social media post has come to light. And it’s heartbreaking.
Johnson, a former Navy SEAL, was the one operating the helicopter carrying a family of five that lost their lives in the crash; he did not survive it either.
His wife, Kathryn, revealed that he moved to New York to further his flying career and had taken up several jobs after leaving the Navy, including bodyguarding celebrities and working on the set of a television show.
While he did many things, Johnson’s passion was flying.
Sean Johnson Was Excited To Land A Job As A Pilot
One of his most recent Facebook posts showed him flying a chopper and speaking about how excited he was to start a new position as a pilot for a New York touring company.
He captioned the clip showing him flying over the city “When it all comes together…”

Johnson’s wife revealed they had been separated for a few months but remained close. She noted that they’d spoken the day before the crash, although he did not mention he was going to be in charge of a tour the following day.
