I've seen some pretty low jet passes first hand but that was f**king low! He would've been pushing down hard on ground effect at that speed.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

I can't believe the Libyan Air Force have officially posted this on Facebook If you did that in the RAF you would be Court Marshalled !!!!!!!!

Holy crap. I can't believe how low he's got that. It wouldn't take much for that to end in tears.

Re: Very Low Flying, Libyan Air Force Style
I used to be on a public service course at college and through the couple of years managed to get out and about campoing and hiking...military styley!! When I was in Dartmoor there was some apatchys and a few fast jets messing around and did some low level flying. Was amazing. This was over a week period not in one sitting (unfortunately) .
When I was 18 I was part of ATC and went off to Germany for a couple of weeks and managed to bag watching a group of tornados taxing from their hangers and taxing to the run way and blast off. The Germans didn't care how close we were, in the RAF it was always to the book. Germans walked up over to a stone throw away to them warming up their engines and take off area. They also did a bit of dog fighting in front of us. We were told they had live ammo on them and were training to go over to Afghan so they were training to bomb the sh1t out of things!!

Re: Very Low Flying, Libyan Air Force Style
Love all those videos posted. Absolutely amazing. Has anyone been to Farnborough or fairford air shows recently? They have never been the same since getting noise complaints stopping them from doing full power low level runs over the run way! Used to go every year to one of them being with air cadets was great fun, the speed was mind boggling!
