What a great story. Glad it had a happy ending and your plane was returned by that fisherman.

I think your pilot's best flying days might be over. It appears from the pictures that he didn't retract his landing gear before ditching-he was obviously not following procedures. Second, and more importantly, I'm looking at his eyes, and he's got that far away look that tells me he's not quite right. Perhaps one too many sorties over the cliffs? He may need some time back at flight school before returning to the Spit.

Perhaps like SkyDude suggested, a couple of nights of R & R with a Barbie doll and a good bottle of wiskey might be enough to straighten him out and get him back into action.

Good luck with your new plane
