Looks like those Duke boys got themselves in a whole heap of trouble again… and nearly took out a cameraman doing it.

Hundreds of spectators watched in amazement as a stunt driver launched a replica of the famous General Lee car from “The Dukes of Hazzard” 150 feet into the air, soaring over a fountain in Kentucky.

Incredible footage from the Somernites Cruise festival in Somerset captured Raymond Kohn hitting the ramp in front of Fountain Square on Saturday evening, recreating the thrilling airborne stunts of the popular TV show in a 1969 Dodge Charger replica.

The General Lee was seen splashing through the vibrant, turquoise fountain, and the crowd erupted in cheers and relief when Kohn successfully landed the car.

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.

The bumpy landing also the left the car careening toward a cameraman with the stunt crew, who barely got out of the way.

Debris from the car skidding along the barricades could be seen pelting the lucky cameraman, with spectators audibly sighing in relief.

“Praise the Lord, everybody’s safe,” Somernites Cruise Executive Director Keith Floyd announced after the jump, the Commonwealth Journal reported.

“(Kohn) is doing great. I’m just so high (with excitement) right now,” Floyd added.

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.

“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.

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.

The Somerset jump marks Kohn’s 30th stunt behind the wheel of a replica General Lee, with his personal record seeing him fly 217 feet into the air.

Along with the stunt, festival goers also got to enjoy a meet-and-greet and get autographs from the stars of “The Dukes of Hazzard,” including John Schneider, who played Bo Duke.
