Similar. Buddies widow spreading his ashes from the stern of a boat. Whoops. I'm sure he would have laughed too.I was present at an identical result. I wasn't running the show, but a bunch of folks were out on a rock jetty in lake Superior. Wind was blowing inconsistently and those closest to the release brought a bit of grandma and grandpa home with them.
It was really hard to no laugh out loud......
Paging Captain John...(CJ). He rigged up some sort of tube mounted under the wing to spread the ashes of his dog.
Yes, I did spread my dog's ashes with it and it works perfectly! It was actually done with Russki's device, which I currently have in my custody.
He want's it back and my plane is currently out of service waiting on the engine rebuild.
That being said, if arrangements were made for it's use and ultimate return to the Russian and if it were OK'ed with him...
He refers to it as the GBE tube. Here is a video clip of it in action:
