The plane is believed to be the same one used by a Cuban pilot last month who defected and landed at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport.
National Transportation Safety Board officials confirmed that the plane that crashed Monday was a Cuban-registered Antonov An-2, the same type used by Cuban pilot Ruben Martinez Machado.
The NTSB hasn't confirmed it's the same plane but the tail number appeared to match.
