Roger, Oh no, say it ain't so.. Look at the bright side- any landing you can swim away from is a good one.  |

If you had landed on a runway, you would have gotten an Achievement (Land with Empty Fuel Tanks) ;D In fact, if you had put it down in the water in the Icon, you would also have had your Landing Count incremented!  Best regards. Luis |

But the last picture is beautiful! I mean, it could be real! If the aeroplane had been an Antoinette IV the text should have been, "On July 19 1909, Latham took off from Sangette and headed toward Dover.
Seven and a half miles out, the engine failed and Latham landed on the sea, smoking a cigarette while he waited to be rescued." ;D Theo |

It May be Some "DILBERT DINKER " training time may be requires here...Roger may very well be inverted as soon as the mains touched the water...Surly the gear would have flipped him...The Nose heavy Stearman,would have sunk like a rock!....Soo! Ditching in water?? Take a deep breath!...What with Harness to get out of,yer Chute if wearing one..Finding which way is up???...But in FLIGHT???....A Piece Of Cake! ;D www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOLedSheDNw&feature=player_embedded#! |
