I know it's not a warbird, but I think it's great footage of a turbine powered waterbomber scooping up water.

That is pretty amazing stuff. I know that they have a vent up forward and that must ease the loading but it would seem to me that the shock of hitting the water has to be pretty severe, no? :shock:

I'm glade real flying isn't this hard or I wouldn't have made it home today.
Hint - The space bar drops the water and no full stop landings. :wink:
No French lesson needed. :P
