Henry Charles Salvatori, 23, was last seen on January 24, 1990, when he and his flight instructor and friend Michael Mergen took off from Palm Beach International Airport in a Cessna 152 at 7:23 p.m. They were on a routine training flight, practicing landings at Palm Beach County Park Airport in Lantana, in clear weather with enough fuel for three hours, but never returned to Palm Beach.

An extensive search followed, including aerial and sea patrols covering a 250-mile radius, yet no trace of the men or the aircraft has been found. Authorities believe the plane may have crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, but the exact circumstances are unknown and the case is classified as lost/injured missing. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies keep the investigation open.

If anyone has information about Henry Salvatori, his last flight, or the Cessna 152 that night, please share what is known.
