I could never work out why the guy near the engine tries to wake his buddy up before attempting to start it.

Can't remember off hand which film it's from :think:

Bet the Cat crew were wetting themselves..

STUPID QUESTION.COM - is the footage real or computer generated? :think:

I think it's real footage.........but maybe not

The long telephoto foreshortening gives it a close impression but I doubt it was quite as close as it looked.

Not a good ad for Johnson outboard motors.

That was my first thought too Garry. Had it not looked quite so 'staged' it would be funny :-$

100% real, no telephoto compression, the plane really was that close to the boat... 4 times!

I had the distinct opprotunity to speak to the pilot who was flying the PBY during the shoot (he was flying for Flying Fireman, Inc. in 2004). He said it was the most nervous he'd ever been, and he's been flying PBY firebombers for over 30 years.
