Avenger from the Valiant Air Command performing at the Cocoa Beach Air Show in
Florida put on a show for some people on the beach on Saturday when the pilot
set it down in the surf for a textbook ditching. Audio in the accompanying
video features the staccato notes of a dying radial engine as the big
single-engine attack aircraft settles softly into the chop in front of
astonished beachgoers. “I’m pretty sure he’s going to land in the water,” said
one of several cellphone videographers who caught the landing. The pilot was
uninjured and the aircraft does not appear to be seriously damaged.
The plane
was part of the warbird lineup at the show, which also featured the
Thunderbirds, F-35 and various other acts. The show continued Saturday and
Sunday. The Valiant Air Command is based in nearby Titusville and has about 50
aircraft. The Avenger came out of an 18-year restoration in late 2020 and its
first flight was last Jan. 11. It was delivered to the Navy in 1945 was
used for firefighting in California and Georgia before being acquired by the
Valiant Air Command in 2002.
