[sheldon957]

A Cessna Jet lands down wind, overshoots into water, everyone gets off okay, but then one engine powers up and turns the jet into a boat for a while.

Pretty incredible.

That happened at Bader Field in Atlantic City a couple of years ago. I believe it was a European jet thinking they were landing at Atlantic City International.

There's a funny ending to that story.

It was a Danish jet, and the tail number was OY-JET.

The company replaced it with a Citation Sovereign... Tail number OY-WET.

(linked article is incorrect - shock - it wasn't "re-registered," it's a whole new plane.)

Why do people have the urge to paint a 17 million dollar airplane in the ugliest / worst paint job imaginable?

OY-VEY, that is pretty gaudy.

And look, the water line is conveniently painted in blue...
