1. My longest non stop flight was from Coronado to Manama Bahrain.
2. While working in the bay there, one night there was a terrible storm. We had to get from the mouth of the bay, to the dock, about 6 miles away. You couldn’t see land, you could only see the next buoy light, but only when you were at the top of a swell. 3am, blinding rain, and we took a 14’ wave over the bow of a 22’ Boston Whaler. The Whaler had a diver door cutout (a 6’ section of side wall on the boat is removed) so when the wave broke over us and knocked us all down, the water was going out the side door and trying to take us with it. There were three of us in the boat, and everybody was grabbing everybody else and trying to hang on so nobody went out of the boat. We got up, and got her going and made it into the dock. It was odd, me and one of the guys pretty much hated each other’s guts, but after that night, we got along ok.

The flutes were discontinued because AI did testing and found that the groups not only opened up with a hot barrel as it does with thicker barrels.
But they found it randomly wandered as well
There is a article they put out years ago
IIRC that is a Steyr
ETA:
@Mister Ridge called it, is an AI AW50, can see the AI metal flats for QD hooks and the green plastic on the ground. There is a nearly identical photo of a fluted Steyr failing the same way out there.

Mom and daughter team…. Really cool story behind that pic.

This crew looks like they have been through some stuff together…
