Holy crap, leaves little room for error.

I wonder what their insurer would say about their policy after seeing that!

Big deal -- I've done that with all sorts of aircraft ever since the first version of Flight Simulator.

Impressive and incredibly dangerous.

The comments are amusing.

"those aren't corsair's, are they?"

"yak 52, unless i'm mistaken. The corsair has a distintive drop in the wing near the join to the body,"

Too funny.

looks awful risky with a 65+ year old aircraft.

South African team apparently. I seem to remember this being discussed elsewhere. Watersking aircraft. Apparently not as difficult or dangerous as it appears. As far as I can remember they are in effect aquaplaning. It has to be a taildragger and the parking brake must be on.

Apparently cropsprayers used to do it for sport and bush pilots often practised it. One story involved a cropsprayer skiing down a canal under bridges.
