Holy Fluck - I'd Love To See This Sometime

Wow I couldn't believe this when I saw it, I'd have loved to have been there. Does this sort of thing happen often at big airshows? I can't imagine it does.

Ha ha you have lots to learn Sir, that flyby was practiced many times in a Simulator as a poster on UKAR was at said show and they interviwed the Pilot as he flew his routine, its more of an illusion as the ground is bumpy in certain areas so it looks extremely low but in actual fact the display was flown within the Display perameters especially for "that" left bank!. Excellent flying!

I can well imagine they don't let any old jock fly like that and I know airshows have restrictions and limits on what is allowed and regardless of any illusion, it's still pretty feckin' close to the ground!

BTW - I'm referring to the last half of the clip.

It is indeed, im going to say 50ft as it looks as low as i have flown in a Yak52 doing Aero's over Salthill.

looks very low indeed.probably a test or chief pilot flying at those altitudes and at those speeds.
