Just heard on the news a student pilot with instructor landed a plane on Lake Mohave near Cotton wood Cove and didn't put the drain plugs in the pontoons. The plane sank in 8 feet of water. No injuries.
Guess you need to remember the plugs on your plane too.:D
I'm trying to find a text link from the local papers.

I heard the plugs were in.... he was cut off by a PWC and it went down.
