I saw a video some time back that was 3 or 4 WWII fighters skimming
their wheels along some glassy smooth water at about 300 knots in
formation. I've looked all over but can't find it anywhere.

Well Mike.....they wern't "fighters", but just plain'ole T-6s, and I
can assure that they weren't doing 300 kts. :-)

Try he or any Google for T-6 Water Skiing
