You can almost hear the pilot thinking 'I wonder if anyone noticed?'

IIRC, one A Kvochur got in a spot of bother with the display-validating-chaps at Boscombe Down in 1993.
It seems they weren't impressed with his pass down the runway which was measured at 1.3m above the tarmac :E
Now there was a top display pilot :ok:

We used to have real aerobatic displays when I was a kid. Biplanes like Tiger Moths doing crazy flying a couple of feet above the grass. Much more spectator friendly, especially the shooting gallery, where the man in the back seat would stand up and shoot bottles as they flew past a trestle table. And then they would turn in no distance at all and come back to do more.

Yup, picking up hankies with the wingtips, etc.
Remember one at Leuchars going backwards down the runway - so slow the wind speed was greater than the airspeed.

Cargosales. I video'd Mr. Kovchurs low pass, it went straight past me, alongside a landing TU 134. The tailpipes were indeed extremely close to touching. Very spectacular to see, if unnecessarily low. Good memories of a very good show!.
I don't have the technical skills to put the vid on here, but I suspect someone else has it!:)
The safety people didn't seem to mind that much, 'cos he went straight into his display IIRC. Probably had a word afterwards. As you say, great display pilot!.

Any explanations?
Could he do it without the Tu-134 as visual reference or whatever?
At that aoa would ige help him?

mike-wsm,

Yes, he probably could, its not far from a very familiar picture.
At that aoa would ige help him?
Ground effect probably isn't helping much as such as he's really just flying the aircraft, compensating for GE. But it certainly will have an effect on his aircraft - that's not a particularly high aoa for that type, and the effect that the ground has on vortex formation would (in my opinion) still have a noticeable effect at very high aoas.
