A bitter-sweet bit of footage. Bitter that it happened, sweet that you captured it.
If it had been a carrier deck landing it would have been perfect! Catching the 3rd wire is the goal.
The recent rain has caused one of the trees to grow a bit larger than it used to be. Last week would have been fine, but this week.....
A pair of gum boots, a long pole, and some trail-blazing through the reeds was required for a safe recovery.
