OK Gang, here’s a fun video! A few years back, I got the chance to go for a ride with Iren Dornier in his modified Do-24 during the Scalaria “Air Challenge” event in Austria! | Kermit Weeks

During the 2015 Scalaria Air Challenge, a Dornier DO-24 seaplane performed a dramatic 270° water loop after striking floating debris on landing. Despite the intense spin, the aircraft remained upright and sustained only minor damage. While some claim it was an intentional stunt by Iren Dornier, others point to pilot input and hydrodynamic forces. Regardless, no one was injured and the footage remains one of the most iconic moments of the event. Footage: ZLAKO ZILLA (YouTube) #dornier #seaplane #
