Low Flying Video

Just seen this low flying vid on Break.com I've not seen it before, the last but one pass if really low where the a/c is below the camera. See what you all think.

Yup, That dude is LOW level on that second last pass. Good show for the troops on the ground.

Heliringer, I concur, that is frighteningly close to the camera, and low.

Correct. Cloggy (or maybe Belgian) F-16's departing Kabul a few years ago and pulling various SAM/AAA breaks. I think the pass is at Vlieland ranges - anyone from Leuwarden like to confirm/correct??

I assume the 'stupidity' call from softie refers to the guys on the ground.

Bl00dy spectacular though.

Call me old fashioned but all these kind of shenanigans prove is the complete stupidity of the pilot.

Get it right......you look like a hero

Get it wrong.......you die!

Tell me what's impressive about that
