I guess that airframe is strong enough for that!!! That was cool... I'd like to have seen the view from the pilot's seat. Wonder how much water washed up onto the nose?
"Wonder how much water washed up onto the nose?" ... I wonder how much chit ran down his pants into his shoes...
Watching that again... that little "bump" the fuselage jumped up on, right as the plane was sideways, might have been the only reason he didn't flip the whole apple cart. I doubt he could have known that was going to do that... lucky pilot.
