I actually witnessed two pilots doing some waterskiing. Where I live in Atlantic Canada the main industry is forestry. From the late 1950's to the 80's there was an extensive forestry spray program in which I was involved in for 5 years. The government lands were sprayed using converted WWII TBM Avengers...the company I worked for used crop dusters Thrush Commanders. At the end of a morning spray session while flying back to base, 2 Thrush pilots spotted a long body of water and down they went. I had no idea what they were up to as I watched from above in my Cessna 182. My eyes nearly popped out of my sockets when I saw the spray coming of the lake. These guys were waterskiing. I'd never heard of such a stunt and never saw it again until I found this link. It is something to see!!

That is extreme. They are seconds from death if they make a wrong move.

That is very awesome!! If the Thunderbirds could do that, I could tie a rope on the back of the F-16 and do the most advanced water skiing.
Just Kidding :D
