Not sequential in that the photographs were not taken on the
same day. The waterskiing "attempt" was "successful" with
no ill effects. The 170 in question was (sometime later) flipped
over while landing on a gravel bar. The damage from said
gravel bar landing wasn't that great, but the other poster is
correct in stating that the helicopter recovering the aircraft
"pickled" the load and dropped it, thereby causing additional
(more severe) damage.
Don't try this at home. (Water Skiing)

Water skiing
Try the rather new video called "Big Rocks & Long Props"
They use a fair amount of water "wheelies" as parts of various "strips"
It is interesting to watch them come around a corner on one tire
and then bump up onto the beach
At least one as short as 120 feet plus the H2O approach/touchdown.

There are a few videos of gravel bar landings floating around on the internet. I've uploaded a few of them to http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/cessna170 ... yahoo.com/
