I caught a glimpse of this rescue on the news as the pilot was hoisted into a helicopter. I thought it might be a kitfox. Turns out it was an Avid. do not archive

Looks like it floated pretty well. I wonder if he had installed some floatation just incase...

My worst fear. The water around here does not let too many people live to tell the tale. :beerchug: for the guy setting it down without going over and for being able to get out and well... fly away!

SAR footage here http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1053506-not sure if it will work outside Ireland. Skip to about 12min 30sec.

No footage of the ditching but this was taken from the boat that was nearby
