    WW2 Warplanes water dipping

    Guys ....

    I'm new to this Forum and usually hang out on the HotBoat Forums, but loving WW2 planes, I was wondering what plane was in this video?

    I have seen pictures of this before, but not video. And yes, they are Harvards, or T-6 Texans. Harvard is the British designation for the North American T-6.

    How about this crazy bastard. There's a whole video of guys doing this - it's in Alaska. The aircraft is a Super Cub...

    Wow, that is pretty wild. I don't think it would take much to put your nose in the drink...
    "I had ten rockets on board, and as I wasn't particularly fond of head-on attacks, I salvoed the whole lot at him. The rockets didn't hit him but but they must have scared the bejesus out of him, for he did a steep turn to starboard... I let him have the full blast, all eight fifty-calibers. I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."

    ok guys i will shed some light here... the first video is the southafrican aerobatic team flying T-6 texans... they first lock up the wheel breaks and then hydroplane on teh water...bush pilots do this when there is not really enough space to make a standard roll out... the last video is of an amphibous plane who was having gear problems... he decided to land on the water with his gear down rather land on cement with his gear up... he is so happy to survive it that at the end he actually gets out onto the float and happly paddles his plane.... enjoy all
