Hi All,
sorry my post `Dont try this at home` didn`t work out.
The pics which should have accompanied it showed 4 T6`s apparently landing on water with each one trailing a wake. The second shot taken from water level showed that there were no floats but each T6 was just touching the surface of the water with its wheels. All part of a South African display teams show which has just been cleared as `safe` by the authorities. That reall is accurate flying.
Unfortunately I have deleted the pic now but if anyone has got it,. put it on.
Cheers
Pat

I think they are real. I have a friend that used to do the same thing in a 172  . Its dangerous, but at that speed the wheels act like skis, it does not take much contact area on water at 100 knots to generate a lot of lift. Just fly very smoothly down on a smooth lake, and let a LITTLE bit of weight on the wheels. Its dangerous, and its hard, but with enough skill it can be done  Just look at the guys that water ski with bare feet, if you go fast enough you dont need skis, almost any surface will do....

We had a Brezzy that use to do the same thing hydro plane on an area lake.
Since it looked like an ultra light to the gen public, and I was the only
one in the area flying an ultra light. You can guess my surprise when a car
with FAA on its door showed up at my house. Luckly my plane was down with
and eng replacement and I could prove it was not me.
