That thing is insane. Saw it on Wakatipu last year. Me and me old man were looking around trying to see the jet supposedly flying in and all we saw was the boat!! Amazing machine

[@toast47624]

Great Navigation!

[@fabricobblegarage9545]

Scary fast

[@vech400]

I’m sure the vid doesn’t do justice to just how crazy this is. I’d love to hear the navigator radio and see telemetry of speed, G’s and rpm

[@mertvak]

skip to 4:05

[@knobovsossidge2022]

Good god that thing is FAST.

[@stevewhite3892]

[@neilcarson4511]

Only 17 birds and 347 fish were killed in the making of this vid. Oh and 12 crawdads were scared beyond belief, they committed suicide.

[@SHaughom]

Damn! at 7:17 was a very close pass of debree or a rock? Greetings from Oslo :-)

[@bigtruxz]

how many miles did they travel?

[@danmar007]

That was unexpectedly boring. Pretty cool water highway though. :-)

[@Mr05sti]

whats ur fuel consumption... 90gl to a hr?

[@MrPants1970]

It’s flight isn’t it, how much of the hull actually touches the water? You need a pilots licence

[@hamishmcghie1645]

[@lerch122]
