    Default Nice day for a paddle

    An Avenger ditched off Coco Beach in Florida during an airshow. No injuries apparently

    It had just been restored too. At least it was a soft landing and, as you said, no injuries.
    Hopefully, they can get it in the air again.

    Gah, can't read the article, they don't like my ad blocker. I'm happy, at least, that no one was injured.

    Thumbs up

    I saw a series of 4 photos on Facebook taken as the plane came in to belly flop. Great flying to avoid swimmers in the water.

    I am glad nobody seems to have been injured and the plane seems close enough to shore to be recoverable.
