Crazy Things you've seen while boating

I saw an airplane fly underneath a 50-75 foot bridge (guessing height). The Shreveport Barksdale bridge over the red river. I was just sitting in the boat waiting for my buddy to back to trailer down and then out of nowhere the small plane is flying about 10 feet off the water and goes right under the bridge. Its actually two bridges for both directions of traffic. What's even crazier is that the air force base is less than 2 miles away. I'm pretty sure its illegal to do that. I got a front row view though. Seen a lot of crazy stuff on the water, but that one sticks out for some reason.


I once saw someone get their thumb mangled wakesurfing. Had the rope bunched up and fell, de-gloved his thumb. I have pictures, but I'm not sure anyone really needs to see that. If this turns into a slam/gore thread I'll post it.

Speaking of planes, this guy buzzed my dock last week. It was pretty cool to watch a plane go by only a hundred feet away.
