(amphib landed wheels down on the water) The only reason the pilot got out alive was a recent safety course he took on what to do in that exact situation. Thankfully he was the only one in the plane. <br /><br />I don't know if having life vests would have gotten anyone else out of the airplane, but no one would be sticking around to try to find their lifevests when the plane is full of water.Echojuliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176325221080989545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-7246651707083124852011-03-26T18:32:12.656+00:002011-03-26T18:32:12.656+00:00Let's all enjoy learning about limousines from...Let's all enjoy learning about limousines from the above comment, before it goes the way of all spam. :-)Devil In The Drainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-48951355821741381502011-03-26T05:05:38.187+00:002011-03-26T05:05:38.187+00:00I always mistrust aircraft named for flightless cr...I always mistrust aircraft named for flightless creatures. Maybe "Beaver" isn't as bad as "Super Guppy", but I am NOT getting into a "Hippo" unless it's an amphib.<br /><br />Judging by some of the commercial pasengers I see get on board nowadays, I wouldn't trust them with a penlight much less a lifevest.majrojnoreply@blogger.com
