The aircraft sustained salt water damage as it partially submerged. There was also damage to the nose cone in back of the propeller as the plane nosed over upon hitting the water. The plane ditched just offshore at Hampton Beach NH . The Pilot had jettisoned the banner they were towing prior to ditching.
The sole pilot onboard the single-engine banner-tow airplane was not injured during the incident and the aircraft was in one piece during impact. Lifeguards attached a rope to the tail wheel area and dragged the plane onto the beach.
