    The guy wants to put gear down for a water landing. After take off... "I'll get the frequencies figured out". "Speed is good, we'll bring it down to, oh i dunno 80, 85 knots on final..." Stay safe y'all. lol.

    Peach fuzz needs to have this airplane taken away from him and be put back in a C-172. Calling for the gear on a water landing is inexcusable. Matt put the gear handle down, too, but then picked up on the error, at least. ALWAYS think before you flip any switch or operate any control.

      That girl is not exactly a WWE star. She was petite. And in no case walked on an aileron or flap. A grand caravan is not a 152. It has relatively strong skins. I doubt the aircraft was damaged for a photo shoot. If it was, it would be visible.
