South African Show Team AT-6's Walk on Water
(Forwarded by Al Franklin)
WOW!
This was pretty daring. Just one little ripple or downdraft etc., and it
would all be over!
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.
