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?

Warm water + South Africa = Sharks!

I think they did this on a lake, Rob.;)

But this is the correct altitude for a short range torpedo run.

Yes, I think the 4th photo makes that pretty conclusive.:thumbsup:

So, no sharks; the crocs had probably eaten them all anyway.

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.

I was thinking along the same lines, but more of...

A new ploy by Ares to get the Wings of Glory crowed to also play Sails of glory!

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...
