Wow. How many T-6s do ya think ended up at the bottom of the lake
during filming? G

I saw the photos and first thought they were PhotoShopped but the video
is amazing.

Why doesn't this fall under § 91.13?

For the same reason lots of things done at airshows aren't.

What's wrong with what they're doing?

The Flying Lions are a South African Team. The FAA has a long reach, but not
quite THAT far! :-)

The guy I bought my taildragger Flut-r-bug from would do this. He would
touch down on the water with the brakes locked (to throw up less spray).
He would ski right up to a gravel bar and roll out on dry land. He said
as long as you were above about 30 knots, it was just about like landing
on concrete. He claimed you would actually bounce if you touched down
too hard. Taking off again was a concern. You need enough room to get to
30 knots before hitting the water again. Apparently, this is a common
practice amongst bush pilots.

I've heard stories, but I thought they were bull****, wild.

I did this a couple of times in my homebuilt Team "MiniMax".
The first time, I was unaware of it until a bystander called
it to my attention. I was flying low over the Ohio river at
the time. I did it again later in the day, this time deliberately.
Sure washed off the undercarrage. At cruise speed (55kts), it was
just like a wheel landing on turf.

This is a technique that has been used by bush pilots for many years.
Many of the bush pilot's books discuss this.
