...the photo you have posted is WAY TOO BIG four our pages. Therefore we cannot see your picture and our text is all buggered up and so small that we cannot read it.
Please reduce the picture size MASSIVELY, then we can carry one.

Can't be Italian: no hairs under wing roots.

The thing with low flying is that the best you can ever hope for is to equal the record.
An old and somewhat sensible QFI told me that one when I was in my youth and up for anything.

Shark mouth markings suggest it is a Tornado ECR of 50 Stormo, 155 Gruppo, Aeronautica Militare.
The Italians are the only operator to have the inverted ice cream cone on the spine

So it's genuine then. Looks bloody dangerous to me.

Come on, a Tonka isn't very big - that's not much more than a foot or maybe two.

I don't care if it's a foot or a metre (my guess is about 4-5 feet personally) but whoever it is is a total pillock in my opinion.
I was taught how to fly at 100' in the Jaguar and I've never felt the urge to fly any lower (unless planning to land before anyone gets smart!).
I realise that makes me sound like a pompous old prat but life's too short to bugger around like that, especially in a two seat jet.
Finally, why does someone always say 'photoshop' on threads like this. Sadly I see nothing to suggest it is a fake.

That wing has got to be about 15ft long. I would say there is less than 20% of the wing length distance between the runway and the tip. I know it's very difficult to judge these things when telephoto lenses are used etc. But still.

When I first saw it, I thought it was this (watch around the 3 minute mark):
In this one the pilot doesn't roll as much bank on as the Italian jet, but still quite an impressive fly past!
