USMC 81-85 Yeah the guy was a pilot and the gearbox or something went out and the only thing he could do is take it down fast and he did, just right onto Dick’s beach when he was home. Good story, funny as hell, here is this pilot with a full flight suit and then the SS comes out with every gun imaginable and adds to the fun.

Semper Fi! Could you, or anyone, offer an explanation as to what the pilot in the pic was attempting to do ( other than a cheap and quick wash job?) I thought that flying that low over water almost guaranteed a flame out?

IIRC, there was a story not too long ago about two military copters that almost came to grief when they actually hit a lake ( a civilian just happened to catch it on film)
