How do you put 'her' down?

Get out of your parachute. Get canopy open and/or door unlatched. Tighten
belts. If sitting on life preserver, cushion or whateve, try to remember
how
to get the miserable thing out and useful. Keep screaming on the radio.
Promise yourself that if you survive, you'll never forget to put the
goddam
filler cap back on properly, and at first opportunity, reconsider future
form
of employment, if any.

It seems to have happened to 3 ex FAA aircrew yesterday
when they had to ditch their Cessna 172 after its engine
failed over the Western Channel

All 3 were picked up by a fishing boat and one reported having
to make an underwater escape from the sinking aircraft

Given that the youngest of them was 79 they did rather well
