Aren't planes usually called things like "albatross" or "eagle" or similar flying creature..? That flying craft was screwed (pun unintended but gleefully acknowledged) as soon as it was called "beaver".

Yeah, I think I would have been running at 0:38 and not wait until it hits me. That's just me...

It looked like it slowed down halfway through the lake. And why wasn't the pilot lightly pulling back on the yoke then rather than waiting a second before the end of the lake to do it?!
Camera guy has balls.. he so easily could have been chewed up by the propellor. In fact, the pilot probably crashed like that because of the camera guy, he tried to get over him rather than just bumping up the end of the lake and through the fence.

Flying short, landing hard!
This is the Middle East way to drive planes!
