This is a video I made back in February 2022 and finally got around to uploading it. It was meant to get you thinking about what is safe when hydroplaning an airplane on a river or lake. It also has you consider the possibility or the reality of trying to recovery an airplane in a river or lake. The pictures of different airplanes are not of people I know but it could be anyone of us playing with our airplanes! By some amount of dumb luck it has not been me. Although I have had my share of screw ups in other ways with airplanes.
