So who was doing the filming?

That was cool. Does that system have a release for the chute after it hits the water? And who picked him up? The cruse ship or the CG?

I was picked up one day by a pilot who worked for this fast food chain owner who wanted me to evaluate his ranching practices.
He pointed out the lever when I got in the plane that deploys the chute and instructed me how to do it should something happen to him.
Expensive plane for its size.... something like 300K if my memory serves me.

“Ditching” implies some kind of control. This was more like a “splashdown,” I think.

It’s 2400 miles from San Diego to Hilo Hawaii.
2200 Miles just puts you far from anything.
You gotta wonder how, after 1100 miles, it was not clear to the pilot that he only had 1100 miles worth of fuel left, and it would be a good idea to fly with the wind back to San Diego.
