TBM ditches off of Cocoa Beach

Geez. It was a bold move to ditch that close to shore. I would have been terrified of killing somebody. Maybe pick a line further out, or make a mild check-turn away from shore to avoid that possibility?
Looks like the pilot was probably OK though. It's a shame about the airplane.

looks like pilot did a good job of landing it without too much visual damage, a good wash and polish and it should be fine right? 
Fresh water wash down and some clean gas and you’re all set!looks like pilot did a good job of landing it without too much visual damage, a good wash and polish and it should be fine right?
And fixing whatever caused it to shit the bed.
@jmcquate you might remember the WWII flyover in DC where the Avenger had to make an emergency landing at DCA.

When I was at FDIC, I used to attend the weekly Park Ranger lectures there. Also, I loved the little National Park Museum that nobody knew about inside it and the Native American crafts gift shop.
