[Another sky diving accident.  At least they picked a pretty place to crash 
:-) ]
          Date/location: APR-01-97 at MOKULEIA, HI
          Aircraft: Cessna 182F, registration: N3652U
          Injuries: 5 Minor.
          On April 1, 1997, at 1215 hours Hawaiian standard time, a
          Cessna 182F, N3652U, operated by the Skydive Academy of
          Hawaii Corporation, experienced an in-flight loss of
          control during takeoff from the Dillingham Airfield,
          Mokuleia, Hawaii. A witness reported observing the airplane
          lift off and immediately thereafter commence climbing at a
          steep angle. At an estimated elevation of 200 feet above
          ground level, one wing suddenly lowered and the airplane
          rapidly lost altitude. The airplane collided with trees,
          impacted the Mokuleia Beach Park surf, and was destroyed
          upon sinking in 15-feet-deep water. The commercial pilot
          and four passengers sustained minor injuries. Visual
          meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was
          filed. The flight was originating at the time of the
          accident. According to the FAA, during the accident flight
          the pilot was transporting skydivers and their gear for a
          planned jump. The skydivers were seated on the floor of the
          airplane.

[I wonder how deep the water is?  Anybody got a SCUBA tank I can borrow?]
          Date/location: APR-04-97 at NEW SMYRNA BCH, FL
          Aircraft: Chance Vought F4U, registration: N45NL
          Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
          On April 4, 1997, about 1120 eastern standard time, a
          Chance Vought F4U , registered to L Clark Hill Trustee,
          operated by Collings Children's Trust, as a 14 CFR Part 91
          personal flight experienced a total loss of engine power,
          and ditched in the water adjacent to New Smyrna Beach,
          Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no
          flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial
          damage. The commercial pilot was not injured. The flight
          originated from New Smyrna Beach about 50 minutes before
          the accident. The pilot he had been flying over the water
          at 3,500 feet, and another pilot was taking photos of his
          airplane. The engine started sputtering. He confirmed the
          fuel selector was on, boost pump was on high, mixture was
          full rich, and that the magnetos were on both. The engine
          continued to sputter. He informed the other pilot that he
          was returning to the airport. About 20 seconds later, the
          engine quit. He declared an emergency and made a forced
          landing to the water next to a boat. He exited the airplane
          unassisted, and was picked up by personnel on the boat.
