Bent airplanes always make me sad. At least that looks like nobody died. Can I guess that nobody was even badly injured?
ReplyDeleteYou're correct. I believe the pilot for the most part walked away.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteIs anything of that plane salvagable? What about the avionics? What a waste.

That bent prop blade really looks like the airplane lost some of its virility in the accident... :-)
ReplyDeleteYa I don't think there is much worth taking. The avionics are all origional equipment.
ReplyDeleteOuch. It is kind of sad looking at a broken airplane.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the IKEA lamp commercial though.

You feel sorry for the airplane.
That is because you are crazy.
With the cost of aircraft parts though, you have to wonder what the total value of all the salvageable bits are worth if individually sold off.
the way the right float is bent, it almost looks like it impacted a lot more vertically than just skipping across a sandbar. I wonder if the pilot saw it coming and made a hail-mary attempt to get airborne and ended up stalling it down onto the sandbar.
cool pics.
ReplyDeleteOuch about the airplane.
glad everyone was ok.
