No, he’s not amphibious… You’ve got to see this video to believe it! This guy comes in for the approach to landing, touches the wheels in the water to slow himself down before coming to a stop on a sand bar.
BUT check out what happens near the end of his landing when he gets slow. Have you ever seen an airplane make such a watery splash? Too cool!
Enjoy!
