Great video Captain F! One can only speculate on the “authorities” reaction here in Australia if the aircraft were VH registered. In the USA it seems this stuff can by uploaded with impunity. It also shows that the “hold the brakes on” thing is a myth.

Darwinnism rules and the fun police suck.

Looks like they slow down rather rapidly on the water. Wouldn’t want to slow down too much before reaching land..

Most here would be too young to remember the days when Tigers were preeminent in the crop dusting world, some pilots of the day were given to this passtime - Ben Buckley and gang featuring.
