Landing a seaplane as I would do it?

Landing like a boss !


Ever want to fly a seaplane? As this was a controlled maneuver,
check the control surfaces during the "ride".

I thought one wasn't supposed to drop anchor until the speed was below 5 knots.

Good idea. I hadn't thought of using an anchor.

Looks like he was trying to convert the seaplane into a submarine.

A lesson in how not to do it.

An old saying is: "any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing."

I thought it was "any landing that leaves you with a reusable container is a good landing"!

And any landing after which you can still use the aeroplane is a great landing.
