Plane plunges into sewage tank, disappears

Actually, in a small plane, you would -usually- rather hit the ground. Water landings tend to be unhappy events in light aircraft, especially fixed gear singles. Some are unhappier than others though - man! They are unhappy events as in you don't get to use the plane afterwards - but water landings are surprisingly survivable. Fixed gear or retractible gear doesn't seem to make a lot of difference in ditchings. http://www.equipped.com/ditchingmyths.htm -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.
