Irish's plane is green , that plane has red on the wing tips so I dont think its his . Glad that no one was hurt but the plane didnt come out very well, maybe some work for Irish's shop .

I think Wayne likes insurance jobs

A close call for sure, good to see that everyone is ok.

[irishfield]

I won't comment on the issue... other than no it wasn't me. Airplane is actually still in excellent condition, floats are another story.

 

I still haven't got mine up there... been a tad tied up with family matters. But my brother survived his quint bypass today (6 hours in OR) and I hope to be flying to the lake late tomorrow or Friday... and I'll try not to land in the "short" lane !

Cause was faulty brakes. Look for a recall.

There are "brakes" on float planes

LOL Connie!! He should have dropped the gear 1/2 way thru the slide.. it was an amphib! Although I hear he hit the dock still doing 40 knots!

Some guys just don't realize that when it rains on a lake, the surface gets super slick and you need to keep your distance to brake in time.

The driver was probably texting.

40 knots? dang, he'd be darn near airborne, well up on-step anyway.

Was he trying to land on the dock!?

Yes definitely sliding on the step Dan and not in a channel we normally use for landing unless there's some good wind.. First time there.. raining.. probably a quick decision to land that obviously didn't go well. About sums it up... kinda like day dreaming and bumping some guy at the lights in your car. (just more expensive!) I won't say anything further on an open forum other than crap happens.
