Here we go again! Not my fault, and I can prove it!

I was enjoying a short flight over the beautiful Orbx Oregon scenery, from Elma Mun. (East of Bowerman) to Westport / 14S, West of Bowerman) Conditions were perfect, a great low & slow experience with my beautifully preserved de Havilland 80. I waved at he girls, and showed some perfect and impressive airman ship. It all went very well until my appearance at Westport. As you will see, it looks like a very low level conspiracy:

I was a bit worried about the tall trees just in front of the runway..

Almost cutting the tree tops, but a von Peerhoven has no fear and acts like a pro.

As you see, this will be an epic landing

I must say, there's a lot of weed on the runway....

Whoa, look at this on the runway........ this will cause expensive noises......

Oooooooh....

You see! I don't believe it! :mad: Sigh.....

It was my first visit there, there was no cross on the runway, I didn't receive any Notam, so DON't blame me! YES!

Oh! That's where I left those things! Thanks for finding them for me. :)

Sorry about all the expensive noises. I see you found Hardy's hole as well.

Since you did me a favor, no charge for the plane wash this time. :rolleyes: -- Bob

Well, I have heard of 'Pushing Up Daisys', but this looks ridiculous! You 'Landed Long' alright! Long time, and right into the marsh you were left! Ha.

Hey Jan!! Looks like you're in trouble again!! If you wish, Klee and I will start on another trek to rescue you! I well remember we made many barkeeps happy on your tab last year!!:p

 

BTW: I just re-read your first missive here. I think it may provide a clue as to way you found the runway blocked. I quote "I waved at he girls, and showed some perfect and impressive airman ship. It all went very well until my appearance at Westport." Perhaps the "he girls" girlfriends weren't happy a guy was waving at their dates and committed a little mischief!! ;)

I took a look at the images, I think if we remove the wings to lighten the load, a simple Ford pickup should be able to pull the plane out of the water. after that, repairs will become the tricky part. the engine will no doubt need to be completely replaced.. and who knows on the aircraft skin. that plane will probably have to be grounded for a while to check and repair the damages and check and clean off corrosion caused by the water. But, she is recoverable. (speaking as a realist)

It has the tale of a whale.....:eek: This happened years ago and was only a minor incident. Wasn't even on the news. There was an airfield on the map I had. So not my fault.

 

Rupert, that is a possibility. It's not always easy to be a handsome young airman. But I think they hadn't enough time to fix that.

 

Patrick: that's not a very positive message you gave me. I think they can re-shape the prop a little, leave the cabin doors open during a day or three and place a fan next to the engine. That's how I repaired the last five planes. This was not my plane btw, borrowed it from a friend!

Note to Everyone!! Don't loan your plane to His Peerness unless you have underwater aircraft insurance!!!!

 

Jan, are you in trouble?? Again I say Klee and I will be more than happy to depart to wherever you are to provide assistance, assuming of course that you'll pay the bar tab(s)!!

A von Peerhoven is never in trouble! There are always friends nearby willing to assist. Like you. If you decide to come over, please bring some pizza's. Extra cheese please. Oh, and some bottles of wine. And a new plane will you? Looking forward to that. The new plane I mean. :rolleyes:

Listen: I really hoped I would get some support here! :mad: I got bills for the tow truck, new underwear, calibrating all instruments, etc. etc. TSK!

 

I could have sworn that I heard Peerhovens didn't wear underwear, at least not while flying anyway.:)

Perfect landing BTW, and they are still looking for you around the Bahamas. Seems you skipped the bill for the crane that lifted the wrecked plane.:mad:
