Drowning is meant to be euphoric after your lungs have filled with water and there is less chance of a fire in the ocean .

I go out there in the morning knowing that I have plane with an engine on it that runs well, and has had all the money spent on it that it needs to keep it running as best as can humanly be done.
Unfortunately a lot of survey aircraft have extended periods of service in remote locations and probably don’t get the deep attention they deserve. Considering some 210/206 survey aircraft I have seen are pushing 20,000 hours they need some extra looking after.
