Well, with the speed that an air plane goes this shouldn't be to difficult. It actually is like water skiing. At that speed the wheels are sliding over the surface of the water without descending (just watch ducks landing). That's the same effect that makes driving fast on a wet road so dangerous. The tires simply start to swim and are loosing contact to the ground.

Besides, aren't those pictures already more than a year old? I think I saw them already quite a while back.
