Yep, this is real.

The runway was short (~3,000') and jet operations were "prohibited" at the airport. Didn't stop this guy, though.

Dumb way to waste a multi-million dollar jet and put the pax at risk too.

I read somewhere where the owner bought a new jet shortly after this and registered it OY-WET.

Uh Yeah

Wow! Someone needs to help that bird get out of the water and away from the moronic human that put it there. It is a sad sight, the last fight for life... If only a little more angle of attack.

What happened to the Darwin Award winner who was the pilot?

I wanted to post that here but couldn't find a way to mix it in. I've shown it to everyone at the shop.

I know I am an idiot but why did the thing start kicking up water the last half of the video? Was the engine lit all taht time? Or did the pilot decide to try t0o get it out of the water? wtf?

[Curtis Block]

All we can figure is the starter shorted out and the pilot probibly didn't turn off the master?

[muddyboots]

hate to be the folks in the boat trying to get the heck away from it

That man needs his license yanked.
