Not much margin for error there if you have a momentary loss of engine power! Still, it's South Africa, so the water should be warm when you ditch.
Wow, great skills and you wouldn't want to get that wrong ! :erk:
That's great! Displays true flying ability...or, is it seamanship?
I think they did this on a lake, Rob.;)
But this is the correct altitude for a short range torpedo run.
Or to be! a torpedo, Sven...
certainly spectacular but it seems a bit 'too reckless.
Yesterday I saw in the main railway station of Rome an acrobatic plane sposored by Hamilton showed, a famous watch company It could one of the plane of Nicolas Ivanov. I had no time to take a picture of it.

Pity about the soundtrack: I'd much rather have heard the engines (and the screams of the pax in #4).
A new addition to Sails of Glory?
Also note: Only possible in a taildragger. Throttle adjustments cause the nose to tip; on a tricycle-gear, that means the nosegear digs in.
:thumbsup: What fantastic flying skills.
Thanks Keith for posting those great pics.;)
Yesterday I take a pic of it

That's a sleek looking plane!
I think my eyes are finally going weird, in each picture I look at, that plane appears to have more and more ghost images...
