Journalist at work again. Writer: The plane plummeted into the water. Witness: The plane glided into the water. Video shows a nice glide for “landing”.

...yea, you don't 'plummet' into the water dragging a banner...saw that happen in Daytona a number of times...gotta watch the altimeter instead of the binoculars!....

A local newspaper reported that some of the rescuers later went to shower off the resulting jet fuel.

Jet fuel? In a Cub?

There aren't enough Cubs left for people to be crashing them into the sea. Pity.

Why didn't he jettison the banner?

The banner tow line appears to have held tail preventing a total tip over. Why is "experimental" on fuselage if it's a J3 Cub?

I think it says "RESTRICTED". Not sure what that means.

The pilot may do what I would do-stay away from all airplanes for the rest of my life.
That pilot may even get a desk job somewhere with the employer. Oner's Son?

Glide'er Inn....................great little dive with a major history of landing in that area. Back in the good old days you could put it down on PCH and take a snip or two then fly off. Miss that little dive it was one hell of a bar.
