take a couple of guys n flip it back over and drag it up outta the surf.. it looks like it would have been pretty much OK till it took that bath.
Don't forget to write " NO STEP " on the bottom of your wing after you go over

Pilot Jeff Burwell took off from his home about a quarter-mile away, headed for a weeklong hunting trip on the Kenai Peninsula. But his Super Cub never got high enough in the frosty morning air, Burwell's wife said.Instead, as Carol Burwell watched, saying "No, no, no," the plane's left wing clipped a light post in the parking lot of a nearby Image Audio store and dropped.
It narrowly missed overhead power lines, bounced once or twice, then bumped over a curb and came to a stop in the road,

FROM THE FAIRBANKS
i stand corrected, I was at the airport when it happened but did not see it go down. I was told that it was a 150. But after I see the pics I can see the tail. Been told that that fence has caught 3 now. Sad for the families.
No injuries after aircraft experiences landing gear failure
...landed and its wheels collapsed.....

hmmm.... ALL the gear collapsed so nicely from locked position?? sure......
The cameras strapped to the skydivers' helmets were supposed to memorialize their perfectly timed jumps and exhilarating descent from two small planes to the earth 12,000 feet below.
Instead, the footage filmed by five daredevils shows the terrifying moment when the aircraft collided above Wisconsin, flinging parachuters into the air like plastic action figures and sending one plane into a fiery dive across a sunset-lit sky.

miracle??? Anyone on this site could have done the same thing. The runway was unlimited in dimension with good approaches. The landing gear was up for low drag. And the wind was light for no turbulence. It was a perfect day for a students first solo. He did forget to close the outflow valve so that the plane sank sooner than it should have. The fortunate thing is that no one got more than their feet wet.
