Is internet instruction ok when it's in the vein of what NOT to do?

He just needed some real tires and the little wheel in the right place!

ouch.. me thinks he came in with the right rudder just a tad too late..

Highlights:

0:18 when the pilot claims that he was "too cautious" in any way.

1:04 when the poor policeman attempts to do, you know, his job, but finds that his street shoes are worthless for getting traction on sand.

Watching the view from the water at 0:44, I thought he'd make it.

I've seen it before....once that water grabs a tire, it's got a LOT of drag. At that point, all the rudder in the world wouldn't have helped.

That's some very poor pilot skills. Beach is closed, plenty wide and long. No excuse

He did as good as he could with the skills that he had!!
As some say on here why would you ever do or practice something like that!!
Seems maybe he had never taken off from a beach before (little slope towards the water?), had never maybe ever been on a unpaved strip?
He had practiced some engine out stuff and soft field landings as he got it down!!
So maybe it does some good to go out and practice some of this stuff even if you are never planning on useing it??
So sorry for him to loose his ride!!

Yeh, when you want to practice landing on I-80 engine out, let me know, I am an expert

It's amazing how fast you can go from "aren't I cool" to "damn, I'm a douche"

Classic case of "Hold my beer & watch this".

Our newspapers were reporting that they made an emergency landing then tried to depart again. The rest, as they say is history.... In this case history was well recorded from every angle imaginable from the many beach goers.

That is very profound...hahaha. Not gonna forget that one.
