No it isnt an oxymoron as an oxymoron is a rhetorical figure in which an epigrammatic effect is created by the conjunction of incongruous or contradictory terms.

Did it fly directly over Fleckney village or around the outskirts? Do you have your eyes calibrated regularly so that you can judge heights accuratley?
