Tobasco & gianlupo,

 The video I have claims, his helmet came off & is what you see causing the flash & debri coming out the back as well as other bits like gloves or flashlight etc. According to the video I have, his belt hung on something & that kept him from going through the turbine, the 2nd crewman saved his life by reacting quickly to signal the pilot to shut down, which according to the video, he was already doing because of a million bells & buzzers & lights going off in the cockpit.

 it's still amazing footage because he lived; just hard to believe. It brings new meaning to "when it's your time to go"

Hi there Golfer.  I've been flying out of Minden, NE, 0V3 for the last month.  We have a temporary operation in Western Iowa in Sac City later in the summer.  How is your new gig workin out?

When I lived in Tucson some 20 years ago I worked at a machine shop called Parallel Ventures... the owners ex-wife had a warbird of some kind, can't remember what it was, and she talked about skipping it off the waves in the San Diego bay.

Gig is good.  Knowing that I'm getting some rich guy laid by shooting approaches to 200-1/2 to bring him his puddy is a very rewarding part of being a charter pilot.  Important missions like that really inspire me to take pride in my work and make me feel warm fuzzies all over.

Sure am glad that firehose is gone from New England.

Stay safe mi amigo

Avoiding all the flaming going on here, I have to say that I am impressed by that Vid, It stikes me as somewhat insane, but its dam cool.

And in truth if I had not seen it I would not have thought it possable.

So thanks for sharing it with us Morph.....

I'm guessing that the planes are going fast enough so the water is hard enough to do that safely.

Here in AK we occasionally have pilots flying amphibs who land on the water with the wheels down.  Last one I heard about did so in a Beaver and died, upsidedown, from some unrestrained cargo hitting him in the head.
