So we respond to an airplane down, yup we had an airport in our jurisdiction. Get on the scene and there's a Beachcraft twin 50 yards from the shore with 5 folks standing on the wings in knee deep water in the middle of winter. We launch our boats, also had a reservoir in the district, package as best we can until we get to shore and finish the packaging. I get the pilot and get him into the ambulance, I says to the guy, that was an incredible landing being able to put the plane down with seemingly little damage as was done, absolutely incredible! He says yes, ran out of gas on the approach (airport was another 5 miles), and he continues, I have experience though, it’s the second time it’s happened to me. God be my judge…
