One *SCARY* Landing - Catching a boat wake in my Lake Buccaneer Seaplane

Join me on a scenic flight in N2793P a Lake Buccaneer seaplane around Lake Norman and Concord North Carolina. Along the way I make several water landings and meet up with a Grumman G-44 Widgeon. I pretend to be a speedboat as I step taxi around Lake Norman in this amphibian. Get a first hand look at sea plane landing and taking off with a view from the cockpit. I witness a student pilot make his first solo flight, and catch a boat wake that vaults me into the air before I'm at flying speed. That makes for a very scary landing. Follow along as I talk about a few tips and tricks for making safe water landings in this amphibian seaplane. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, thinking about getting a seaplane rating, or maybe even buying an amphibious or straight float plane, I hope you enjoy this video. If nothing else, this video explains why I love general aviation amphibian flying boats! Safe Skies & Calm Seas!
