NYSP Wall of Honor - Today we remember Lieutenant Tremain M. Hughes

On January 15, 1932, Lieutenant Hughes, 35, Chief of the State Police Aviation Unit, and another member were killed instantly when their plane crashed in Madison County.

The plane, being piloted by Lieutenant Hughes, was observed along the Cazenovia-Peterboro Road flying very low, beneath heavy cloud cover and fog. There were no witnesses to the accident, but an investigation revealed the plane's wing struck a tree and caught fire when it crashed.

Lieutenant Hughes was lauded as being the mentor of the famous Troop D Rough Riders. He joined the State Police in February 1918 at Onondaga Valley and served in Troops D and G. He was placed in charge of New York State's only aircraft in July 1931.
