Aug 5, 2006. Banner plane loses power off Hyannnis, Cape Cod,
Massachusetts and ditches in the water. Although beachgoers and
witnesses were stunned, the pilot swam away unscathed. The Champion was
later recovered from the water.

"The Hyannis harbor master had the plane towed to shallow water, where
it stayed for several hours yesterday." - that doesn't sound good!

Actually, it is better to leave something submerged in salt water, than to
pull it out and not immediately flush it out with fresh water.

My ASES instructor would not let his plane anywhere near sal****er. He
said even though flushing with fresh water would not stop the corrosion.

No kidding. There's a reason airlines won't buy parts from engines or
aircraft that were immersed in salt water.

LOL!

Ok, every statement I've ever seen specifies sal****er. But I think the
immersed in freshwater is covered under the "non-incident part".
