Early morning anglers are treated to the spectacle of four T6 Harvard
Aircraft from The Flying Lions Aerobatic Team waterskiing across the
Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg South Africa.

Lead by Scully Levin, with wingmen Arnie Meneghelli, Stewart Lithgow and
Ellis Levin, this renowned airshow display team rehearse a sequence for the
newly launched "Aviation Action" television program on Supersport. 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 airshow 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

 

Ya that takes some balls and alot of skill for sure

 

they are good if they were to fuck up and go 1 ft too low their tires would pull under water and force the front of plane to nose dive into water which would kill them...

 

the pilot looked like an old version of Nicholas Cage
