How low can ya go?

[Paul Thompson 'Hooligan']

Might have been posted before - but it still amazes me what some get up to in the line of 'work'....

YouTube - Insane High Speed Low Passes in Jets

Just how low was the aircraft at 30seconds? - and what was it?

 

[Doug Clark]

I'm very sure those are GR1 Tornados.

 

[Paul Thompson 'Hooligan']

Hmmm - that was my guess too....and 'flippin low!'...:thumbsup:

 

[Ron Earp]

It appears to be about a wingspan off the runway, or less, maybe 10 to 20 ft. Dang low!!!!

something else - you pilots might like to consider

 

[Brian Magee]

Did he really work out how to land that thing in that short a time? That is COOL. the most amazing piece of video I have ever seen.

Brian.

 

[Chris P.]

Uh, I don't really think that was real. Pay attention to the landing.

I´ve seen that video earlier but it was a modelplane for real

Not an expert, more of a military hardware anorak, but I would say that the first and last low passes on the Paul's clip are Jaguars - so difficult to tell at that speed and resolution, but the narrower top to the tailplane would seem to rule out the Tornado. Very similar profile though..

 

[Doug Clark]

Here's the original, they're quoted as Tornado's on that page, but I'm not sure if thats the guy that actually shot the footage.

This is one of my fav low pass vids.

This is another classic.

Good call Doug, the video comments seemed equally balanced between Dassualt/Dornier Alphajets and Jaguars with Tornado coming in a distant 3rd but hearing the beginning language in your clip I would say as a racing certainty that they are BAF Alphajets in Corsica.

Spot on with your other clips but the Spitfire has to edge it - man that was low! :shocked:
