Are you sure you don't mean the vertical stabilizer?
I fail to see how anyone could get horizontal stabilizer into the water and survive.
The moment it hits the water and if tried to get under the water, it would slam the nose section against water.

I have reviewed the film several times and can find no indication that the 747 was 100 ft off the deck (I doubt it was anywere near that)


Almost halfway through the clip, it makes a pass from right to left across the flight line and I bet he's under a 100 feet by the look of the shadow on the ground...

For a second there at the end I thought he was going to go inverted, or loop over. Thats a pretty steep climb.
