Geeze, must have had a lot of power on to keep it going like that. Very impressive, could have easily gone the other way though.

I think I just made a mess in my pants.

That's insane. There is another vid there that shows it even better. Thats real close and with the low speed, they hardly gain altitude in the turn. Fun to look at, but very dangerous.

Wow, I wonder if they were meant to go that low?

I've never seen anything like it at the many airshows I've ever attended!

Theres a big thread about it with lots different opinions at PPrune.

Very spectacular, but I must say it looked a little close for comfort to me.

Suspect he may not have intended to go that low, but then again I wasn't the pilot.

Same thing... different angle...

now I know why they put those little winglets on the airbuses.... they're for ploughing!

An impressive RNZAF 757 handling demonstration. Watch right at the end for the really low fast pass:

And secondly, a very impressive Varig 727 very low pass:

Theres some good sound quality on that 757 vid.

way too low!
Imagine the audible warnings going off in the cockpit.
