40 Feet Above The Ocean

I wonder what cruise speed and pitch attitude it would take in a Navajo for a 500ft altitude gain while decelerating to blue line with an engine windmilling?
 
Anyone know this guy? I am willing to bet better than even money he is less than 30 years old. Just a hunch.

Not that I've ever flown the western shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis to near Norfolk at 20', but my old CP told me that if I ever did, to make damn sure I have a little nose up trim in. That way, if I got distracted, I'd climb gradually instead of descend.

I would do this back when I was flying ag.
 
Awesome.

Two motors and you're practically at sea level! Other than not being turbines, what more could you want? The pilots are probably wearing survival suits.

Just don't pull a Titanic, and you're good to go!

Yes there would be.
The ocean doesn't freeze, nor does fast moving water.

I wouldn't want to go for a dip, but hell hasn't frozen over at that point yet.
 
Fast moving fresh water such as over rapids or an edie will not freeze at -40.
It creates incredible ice fog.
