September 5, 20214 yr Coming to an airshow near you, wing swimmers. Specs: black box thingy with spinning fans, lights and a bunch of wires that go to screens with pretty colours and a keyboard with many keys. The black box thingy also has a push button activated coffee cup holder. John C.
September 5, 20214 yr Moderator As amazing as the video taker managed to keep the aircraft in frame, s/he someone missed the actual ditching? I'm so glad that both were rescued in any case. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
September 5, 20214 yr Moderator Thanks! It's so fortunate that the plane entered the water and not on land and that it managed to miss all of the boat traffic. It's also lucky that a RIB was instantly available to rescue them. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
September 5, 20214 yr They had a wing walker act crash near show center at the Dayton Air Show back in 2013. Not...pretty...at...all. Those folks in Bournemouth were lucky, as in "go to church every day until you die" lucky.

September 6, 20214 yr Author Witness said wing walker got back in just before crash. Looked like plenty of time. Toward end of video.
September 6, 20214 yr That could have ended much worse. Glad the pilot and walker are going to be ok.
