The Runway Is Wet

[dbcunnz]

Early morning anglers are treated to the spectacle of four T6 Harvard aircraft from The Flying Lions Aerobatic Team water-skiing across the Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg, South Africa.
Arnie Meneghelli from Academy Brushware, owner of the aircraft, had this to say, 'What we did today I believe is a world first. It illustrates that South African air show pilots are amongst the best in the world.'
This unusual act, approved by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and supported by Castrol Aviation, was meticulously planned and took place under the watchful eye of divers and paramedics that were on site.
And doing it while keeping formation

Now come on Doug , how come no one has painted the Alphasim/Virtavia Harvard in that scheme or are they just wet behind the airs

Scully Levine started this lark... you can do it in the (FS9, don't know about X) sim BTW.
They do it with brakes on, seems counter-intuitive, but that's what they do.

Makes sense, if the wheels were turning they wouldn't push nearly as much water up
