MUSKEGON, Mich. It was an act that police called reckless.
Last summer, a pilot was caught on video flying a plane under the Mackinac Bridge, while the bridge was packed with cars.
Guess what? That wasn t the first time it happened. In 1959, a decorated United States Air Force pilot from West Michigan decided to go all Maverick-from-Top-Gun , flying his six-engine B-47 Nuclear Bomber under the bridge.

UPDATE: This story has been updated that Muskegon Lake was filled in an estimated 16%.
MUSKEGON, MI – Seven historical maps, rolled, folded and tucked away, were recently discovered in the basement of Muskegon City Hall.
The maps were found as the city started relocating the engineering offices from city hall to a new location at the Department of Public Works. Leo Evans, the director of public works, said it appeared engineering recognized their significance and kept the maps over the years.
The oldest one from 1873 dates back to Muskegon’s earliest days as a city. A carefully penned note on a plat map says it was approved by the city council on April 9, 1903. And one map of the sewer system was stamped and signed by the state sanitary engineer: “Examined and approved, May 28, 1914.”
