Libya jet skims heads in very low fly-by - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-33416471)

That lower ventral fin seems like the weapon of last resort against insurgents

That's better than the one where Alain de Cadanet nearly gets run over by a Spitfire.

If I could hear the soundtrack better, I'm sure I'd get the Arabic translation of what I said viewing it "F*** Me!!!"

camelspyyder,

If the Free Lybian Air Force has these Mig-23s, couldn't they lend a hand by blowing out of the water any unseaworthy old rust buckets that are on their shores empty, but waiting for the next load of migrants ?

Or are they in on the act ?

Or is this too simple ? (Gold talks !)

Call that low flying? Plenty of space for a Buccaneer underneath.
