| Description: | Same as catalog # 515022 A freak plane crash at sea is followed by an even stranger rescue-as the pilot is dragged from a mercy helicopter by his own parachute and plucked from the sea a second time by an old-fashioned longboat. MLS - plane coming in for a landing on the aircraft carrier. CUS - The plane is just about to land when it looks like it's caught up in wind sheer, the plane is lifted up, goes over the side, turning up-side-down and into the ocean. MLS - The tail of the plane is sticking out of the water. (may be wind sheer) | |
