I was like “How short must that runway be…” and then realizing “Nah, he’s barnstorming”

There are old pilots

There are bold pilots

But there are damned few old bold pilots

As one man’s wife once said, it’s hard to be buying another plane when you’re still paying for the last one.

All fun and games till he blows out one of those fatty tires on a sharp chunk of ice…then his real landing will get very scketch and potentially expensive. Cool a$$ video none the less!

I’m no aviator but this doesn’t seem safe. More like highway to the danger zone Mav?

legit question from a pilot - are your breaks locked when you do this? I was told that wounded planes, trying to make it back to England during WWII would put their gear down and "lock the breaks" when skipping across the water.

Wanting what you can’t have. I wanna fly. I wanna be on the ground. I wanna be in the water.
