Would have thought that it would be nigh on impossible to get the wheels any deeper. The water would be like concrete at that speed.

I believe its quite a common sport round the world for tail draggers. I think there is a pic out of a DC3 doing it as well.

I would imagine though you would go from a looking dangerous and stupid but being OK. To really dangerous and stupid if you tried it in a tricycle gear aircraft.
