<p>Hundreds watched in awe as stunt driver Raymond Kohn took a replica of the General Lee car from "The Dukes of Hazzard" airborne, soaring 150 feet above the ground over a Kentucky fountain.</p>
<p>Looks like those Duke boys got themselves in a whole heap of trouble again… and nearly took out a cameraman doing it.</p>
<p>Hundreds watched in awe as a stunt driver took a replica of the iconic General Lee car from "The Dukes of Hazzard" airborne, soaring 150 feet above the ground over a Kentucky fountain.</p>
<p>Jaw-dropping video of the Somernites Cruise festival in Somerset captured the moment Raymond Kohn hit the ramp in front of the town's Fountain Square on Saturday evening, mimicking the high-flying adventures of the beloved TV series in a replica 1969 Dodge Charger.</p>

<p>The General Lee could be seen splashing through the bright, turquoise fountain as the crowd roared in a sea of cheers and relief when Kohn successfully landed the car.</p>
<p>The replica bounced a few times after hitting the ground, losing one of its doors and back bumper in the impact, which left Kohn barreling toward a row of roadside barricades.</p>
<p>The bumpy landing also the left the car careening toward a cameraman with the stunt crew, who barely got out of the way.</p>

<p>Debris from the car skidding along the barricades could be seen pelting the lucky cameraman, with spectators audibly sighing in relief.</p>
<p>"Praise the Lord, everybody's safe," Somernites Cruise Executive Director Keith Floyd announced after the jump, the Commonwealth Journal reported.</p>
<p>"(Kohn) is doing great. I'm just so high (with excitement) right now," Floyd added.</p>
<p>Kohn told the local outlet that despite the rough appearance of the landing, it was "easier" on him, with a wave of relief coming down on the stunt driver after his team spent months preparing the replica car for the jump.</p>

<p>"You get one shot at it. This is a very scary situation," Kohn said. "You're putting yourself in a life-and-death situation on purpose, and I just need to focus on one thing, hitting that ramp, and that's it.</p>
<p>The rough landing mirrored the abuse the real-life General Lee took during filming of the popular series, which according to some estimates wrecked as many as 300 of the bright-orange Chargers during the show's run from 1979 to 1985.</p>
