Beware prospective aquaplaners - any significant wave will be just as "solid" as the smooth water surface and will not too neatly remove the landing gear.

Saw a post somewhere in there to the effect this should not be done in a tri-gear, have a look at the (admittedly crappy) picture of the Defiant doing it here:

Course the Defiant is a bit special, having the nose gear retracted!

Napoleon - zip it!

A whole lot of EGO driven tossers to a man. Bad example of what flying is about. And dont anyone quote the CAA gave permission etc as they are no better!............. the ones that think they know anything about flying that is.
You say you are arrogant and do not suffer fools gladly.

Look in the mirror - you will no doubt see a fool!

This is STUNT flying - carefully rehearsed, carfully planned and executed and obviously with the approval of the relevant authority.

And you CLAIM to be a pilot ? I should think of taking a job in the Social Services.

Ag pilots have a bad name, mostly caused by comments by people who have a conception that we are anything but proffessional. Most of our lives are spent low level in heavy aircraft that would rather be on the ground. If an Ag pilot does not have a proffessional approach to his job he will not survive, I mean that in literal terms and in the fact that he will not hold a job if he is caught doing stupid things.

Water skiing is a fireable offence in nearly every Spray company that I know of. Must be a reason for this.
