You will have by now heard about a small single-engine craft having to make an emergency landing at Hampton Beach. At not on – the plane found a spot of the ocean near the beach to face plant the aircraft.
Hampton has one of the nicest, cleanest beaches in the northeast, and not it can also claim the distinction of being an alternate landing strip; though, after watching these short videos, a clear section of the beach would be a better choice than the water.
