Years ago there was an amazing rescue at bay of la after an airplane that was traveling with another plane developed engine failure and went into the bay there. The rescue involved the other airplane and a couple of local Mexican fishermen who were on the beach and had pangas but no gasoline. Also couldn’t see where the plane went down and the remaining airplane was trying to spot the location. The rescue was accomplished against all odds. I used to have the story but I have lost it. Does anyone remember the incident? I believe the aircraft occupants and owners were LA firemen or police. I couldn’t find anything on Nomad search, probably for lack of expertise. The involved parties eventually published a detailed account somewhere but I can’t find anything on it.
Maybe someone here remembers the incident.


maybe this story: https://www.flyingmag.com/i-learned-about-flying-10/


That’s It! Thanks for the find Goat. Nice data mining job. I will hang on to it now. Nice read for anyone who might be riding over water in a light plane. The same situation that unfortunately didn’t turn out well for Carlos Fiesta and his passengers.
