An investigation is continuing into the Sunday plane crash in the Town of Union Vale near Sky Acres Airport, the second in less than a month.
The pilot, Victor Romley, 70, of Greenwich, Conn., was seriously injured and taken to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, said Dutchess County Sheriff's Office Deputy T.J. Hanlon, the public information officer.
Police said the pilot was in the trauma center at the hospital Monday, but did not have more information on his condition.
Hanlon said the crash happened shortly after takeoff, around 2:53 p.m.
Sheriff's Office Sgt. Michael Dampf said Romley was conscious when responders arrived and was speaking with them.
Hanlon said the Federal Aviation Administration is involved in the investigation. No other information about the plane was released Monday.
