Kind of long because I didn't do any editing.

Great video. Nice glassy water touchdown.

Wonderful area. I was there last year on the Gold Wing and I fell in love with the geography.

That video was very cool. It never occurred to me that the rear aspect of the floats would flex that much. Is fatigue failure possible in older floats?

I pretty sure the flex is a combination of the go pro camera vibrating and youtube's attempt at smoothing the video out.

Beautiful!
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!
