Convair 340 ditches

I think maybe “the one and only God who goes by many names” had a wee game, playing a win-win hand – drops Bush in the swamp (win), and allows the pilots to save the day (win).

😀 Well,mines a large apple turnover 😀
Back on topic,are there many Convairs left and is this one likely to be salvaged to rebuild or scrapped,assuming it is retrievable from the water 🙂

heah Trumper don’t take everything so personally. Why is everyone so ready to turn every thread into a bun fight!

Because it’s fun……..

The link posted in the original post says it all about the pilots,well done to them all.I did’nt realise that the only posts allowed on here were for hero worship and praise,god forbid the odd quip 😉

Have to agree with you mmitch, some people are very quick to reply with a quip, whereas no one has said how well the pilots did to prevent what could have been a catastrophe…they were true professionals.

I was a bit more impressed with the lives saved. A forced landing on houses doesn’t bare thinking about. 🙁
mmitch.

Would it be politically incorrect to say it was a shame GWB was’nt onboard :confused:
Oh dear ,did i say that 😮

😀 😀

Couldn’t agree more Damien!

Still a shame, it’s a nice propliner (or could be with a nice new coat of paint 😉 )
