Wonders of tv. I've just seen, live, a Qantas 747 doing a low pass over the starting line at the Melbourne GP. Was it safe or unsafe?

a) he was over 500' agl
b) he had gear down and loads of flap
c) he was wagging his wings

I use "he" not having been able to see the sex of the pf.

Somehow I suspect gear down didn't make much difference and 500 ft if that's what it was, was just another aircraft passing overhead; why waste the fuel?

Interested to know what people think would have been a safe but "wow" agl.
