I'm glad it was salvaged. Maybe it'll fly again. [:)]

On land that's called doing donuts & they probably left skid marks in something other than the ground. I'm amazed that it didn't break up too or suffer major structural damage due to g & water forces

I always thought the Do 24 was one of the nicest looking flying boats [:)]

You can see the rudders are kicked to "full right." Something in the water must have spooked the pilot. Beautiful aircraft.
