First A5 I've seen in a less than spectacular pose. 
Also, according to the news person the A5 is now an "ultralight". |

Jeezus... you'd think that the plane could handle the water conditions in the video.
Well- I bet it can, but apparently the idiots flying it couldn't. |

I wonder if they were practicing a glassy water landing and smacked it in? The wave conditions in the pix don't look too bad, but a 1-2 footer at the wrong time could have really screwed their day.
