I thought for awhile that they were going to finish dragging it back ashore, but obviously they were unsuccessful.

Although it really didn't matter, since it was completely submerged in salt water, that a/c was never going to fly again anyway.

I guess I'm overly cautious, but I would not take a 206 into a beach like that. I dunno rather he wasn't well rehearshed in soft field takeoffs or what. Googled came up with zip. Myself like I said I'm overly cautious I've landed on beaches, but it was in a cessna 185 with tundra tires with a 3 blade prop hung on a IO 520 motor. I know apples and oranges, but when you pick the wrong fruit this is what happens, just glad no one was hurt, bad enough to lose the plane

A very expensive cock up from start to finish, sadly.

Time and Tide waits for no man!.....Absolute poor planning to land there,Not the type of plane to do that!!..Only Jim Tweto types do this stuff!...Sorry for them...did not see Laura?

did not see Laura?
Presumably she was holding the camera! There was a short portion of the video when they were lighting the fire that shows her sitting on the log with her hood pulled up.

About as dumb as you can get, turning the plane into the wet beach sand where it gets bogged down. Nobody thought to keep the plane up on the dry portion of the beach and turn it around manually?

How much does a C206 cost these days? :isadizzy:
