Question: You are forced to ditch in a a/c
with fixed landing gear. The sea is calm and
search and rescue are aware of your situation
and location. How do you put 'her' down?

Verrry carefully. (^-^))) Since the sea is calm, there likely wouldn't be any
wind to speak of, so looking for swells and troughs wouldn't be a problem. Just
maintain airspeed high enough to maintain control and try to three point her in.
