6.5 on the landing, not bad
Florida Man is traveling I see
This is the best summary I could come up with:
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — Police in California arrested a man for allegedly stealing a small aircraft before crashing onto a beach and leaving the scene.
Deputies received a report of a small airplane landing “near or on a beach” in Half Moon Bay around 5 p.m. Thursday, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
A photo posted on social media by the sheriff’s office showed a plane with striped wings tilted forward with its nose in the sand and tail pointed skyward.
A 50-year-old Miami man was charged with theft of an airplane and booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility in Redwood City.
The airplane is believed to have been stolen from an airport in Palo Alto, California, about 24 miles (39 kilometers) by road from the crash site, police said.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft with the Palo Alto Police Department.
The original article contains 199 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 23%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The “crash” landing was due to the sand, not the pilot. It’s why bush planes have huge tires and are super light.
Thus the high rating. Docked 3.5 for the choice of landing zone.
Certainly looks like it could be towed and flown with mild to moderate repairs.
