This sounds like Sniper's rescue:

Men Rescued From Flood Swollen Chattahoochee River

Two telecommunications employees were plucked from the flood swollen Chattahoochee by airboat after falling into the river at the Highway 166 Bridge, in Douglas County Georgia and being swept away in the 28 knot current and an extensive four hour search. . .

good job sniper 28 knot current is serious stuff to run an airboat in and keep it upright much less at night

If you want to know the rest of the story, you can read it in the September issue of Airboat World Magazine. I promise you that will be a good read.
Sniper, I will make a celebrity out of you yet.

Thanks WaterLizard, I'm looking forward to it.

We're talking about an airboater that makes his living in law enforcement and volunteers his time & equipment for search, rescue, or whatever at anytime day or night.

On top of that, he also came up with the idea, as well as providing the photography, to make a calendar for this site, with nothing else in mind other than helping to support the site.

Sounds like one heck of a human interest story and I'm glad he's part of this site.
