Not a photoshop composite, I take it?

Fake, I reckon - Big whirly thing on the front doesn't seem to be doing anything to the spray / wake.

Official limit was 50 feet.
Unofficial (and actual) limit 10 feet.

Those were the days.

if it is a fake, its a bloody good one. not easy to replicate the reflections or shadows on the water in the way they are in the photos.

Here is some information about the 4 Harvards :-
Quote :-

Early morning anglers are treated to the spectacle of four T6 Harvard
Aircraft from The Flying Lions Aerobatic Team waterskiing across the
Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg South Africa.

Lead by Scully Levin, with wingmen Arnie Meneghelli, Stewart Lithgow
and Ellis Levin, this renowned airshow display team rehearse a sequence
for the newly launched "Aviation Action" television program on Supersport.

Arnie Meneghelli from Academy Brushware, owner of the aircraft, had
this to say, "What we did today I believe is a world first. It illustrates
that South African airshow pilots are amongst the best in the world".
This unusual act, approved by the South African Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA), and supported by Castrol Aviation, was meticulously planned
and took place under the watchfull eye of divers and paramedics that were on site.

It's not a photoshop jobbie as there are differences between the a/c such as ariels and exhausts. There is a video doing the rounds of this also.:8

If its not a fake it just begs one question Why????

I think it would actually be harder to fake it than do it for real. A bit like the moon landings but thats another tin foil hat argument.:ooh:
