The plane, with tail number N566C, was registered to a company listed with an address of a home owned by the Bowmans at Salter Path on the North Carolina coast. Bowman received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry and Biology, followed by his DDS from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986, according to the dental practice website. 'Dr. Bowman blessed our practice with over 30 years of dentistry and nurtured many relationships over those years,' the dentistry said in the note Sunday. 'His work was admirable, and he was so much more than a dentist to all that were blessed to know him.' A tracking image from FlightRadar24 showed the plane making a short flight Friday near Pitt-Greenville Airport. Bowman was also a 'skilled pilot' and 'loves to soar through the clouds,' his bio said on the dental practice website. 'Dr. Bowman exemplified what it meant to live a life full of purpose and integrity. He was an inspiration to many that came after him in the dental field and his passion radiated through the lives of all around him. It was a true privilege to be a witness to the legacy he has left behind,' Bowman, Padgett & Associates statement said. WNCT reported Saturday that the plane involved in the deadly crash was recently for sale in Greensboro. A video on the Carolina Aircraft Incorporated YouTube channel shows the plane — with the same tail number — was for sale last year. Bowman's biography said he was involved in many organizations including memberships in the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, North Carolina Dental Society, 5th District Dental Society, and the Flying Dentist Association. 'Dr. Bowman will forever be in our hearts as we strive to make him proud in all that we do. Please keep his family and our team in your thoughts and prayers,' the dentistry statement said. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide further updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
