The guy...

Likely tied to a "tie-down" cleat for land parking in windy conditions. That would be my guess.

But that makes too much sense

And a small observation here...how in the hell did that guy get up there?
(and don't say he climbed the rope...)

Matt308 · Mar 3, 2013

I was thinking that too. Makes me wonder if the plane was not listing so badly and it rolled over pulling the rope taught and the boat backward thus causing that poor gent at the top to severely soil his dungarees.

I was wondering about that too - and the guy sitting on the engine cowl too.

Certainly and interesting pic, that's for sure. Good post.

Great pics.

I would think that guy the rope was standing on the pontoon when the plane turned over and is now trying to get down.

yep and smelling a bit sewery. I know I would be.

My instructor taught me to unlatch the door of the aircraft in the case of crashing, this way the door won't get jammed if someone has to open them for rescue.

Speaking of getting out in a crash, I'd hate to prang in a Henschel 129, look how cramped the pilot is and the slightest crumpling in a crash would pin him in there-
