Prop Failure Necessitates Unplanned 'Water Landing'

You can never be too careful... or too prepared... but a prop failure is one of those weird situations that can put you down in a heartbeat -- as an RV-6 pilot found out. Thankfully, there was no injury to the pilot, but a landing in a flooded field did wind up doing significant damage to his pride and joy. We hope the bird can be fixed.
