Chuck an example of water Skimming Also an example of why landing an aircraft is not only about stalling it on 6 feet above the runway in strong crosswinds Fly it on! Maybe sitting in a crosswind 6 feet up having to go cross control is not the best way at all ?

These guys are totally unprofessional. mad as hatters and an example of bad airmanship ? But somehow good for them and an excellent example of how an aircraft can land at any speed not just stalled on. Before anyone suggests it I am not talking about landing at cruise speed but flying it on at maybe 5-10 KtS above the stall speeds especially with a good headwind component. Remember too with that tiny bit extra speed in strong wind you will have better control authority than at the stall.
