• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

sad - from sand to submarine

I thought for awhile that they were going to finish dragging it back ashore, but obviously they were unsuccessful.

Although it really didn't matter, since it was completely submerged in salt water, that a/c was never going to fly again anyway.
 
why???

I guess I'm overly cautious, but I would not take a 206 into a beach like that. I dunno rather he wasn't well rehearshed in soft field takeoffs or what. Googled came up with zip. Myself like I said I'm overly cautious I've landed on beaches, but it was in a cessna 185 with tundra tires with a 3 blade prop hung on a IO 520 motor. I know apples and oranges, but when you pick the wrong fruit this is what happens, just glad no one was hurt, bad enough to lose the plane
 
Time and Tide waits for no man!.....Absolute poor planning to land there,Not the type of plane to do that!!..Only Jim Tweto types do this stuff!...Sorry for them...did not see Laura?
 
About as dumb as you can get, turning the plane into the wet beach sand where it gets bogged down. Nobody thought to keep the plane up on the dry portion of the beach and turn it around manually?
