the low and over was intentional, but the near wing tip strike, and the low lever circuit and eventual climbout was (hopefully) not. Looked alot like the Air france crash only they turned and didn't hit the trees.

When you do low flyby's and decide to turn you should at least know how to do it safely.

He forgot to start to pull up before starting to bank the airplane.

It seems they were more lucky than skilled not to have dragged the wing.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Still unbelievable to watch...I really would love to know if the captain met with any repercussions.

Here's a view from the other side and a very low highspeed pass. I love a good airshow but holy crap!!

If you look at the fence beside the spectators you see that the runway has a descent decline to it. Still too close for comfort but probably not as bad as it looks when you take the angle of the ground at that end into account.

Yeah, Hoover always put on a great show. Too bad about his treatment at the hands of a few bad apples in the FAA.
