One of the classes Ace had to take was how to rescue his passengers if his plane were to crash in the water. The kids and I got to come along and watch.
Learning about the life jacket.
This swim pool has simulated tide & waves. 
All the guys in training had to jump in the water with their clothes on. this allowed them to get the feel of swimming fully dressed.The life raft is inflating.
Next they learn how to climb aboard and to help others get on.
Ace being pulled on.
Class photoOne of the guys is an instructor.
Where's Ace? He says he's in somebody's armpit.
Full raft starting to sink!What to do?
Everyone bail out!
Ace has a black accordion looking pump which he compresses to pump more air into the raft.
Ace is holding a yellow bag. The bag is used to bail water out of the raft.
Everyone out to try again.

Hey, that looks a lot like this year's canoe trip!! Sadly, three of the canoes ended up with fully dressed people swimming in wavy waters... hmmm. Ace looks like he had more fun! We could have used him, though!
