Did you know that a running spectator is worth more points?

If you don't have to pull grass that stuck around inspection panels, you're not flying low enough ::drinking::
Seen such flying done with helicopters around here, had some incidents and accidents because of that too.

I won't claim to be an expert on the matter (unlike many posters on youtube, I'm sure) but I cannot help but imagine that engine inhaling something nasty there.

Man, talk about an adrenaline rush! ::eek:: ::unbelieveable:: ::loony:: :o ::silly::
Interesting to see this maneuver from both the cockpit AND on the ground. I can understand his victory roll on pull-out too! Hehe. Sure, it was a dumb stunt, but he got away with it this time. I just don't recommend that this pilot continue doing such low passes as they are not conducive to a long flying career. ::drinking::

I regularly use two airfields that have their share of aircraft with green streaks on the bottom. Next time, I will have to remember to paint bottom of fuselage green!

Apparently, the argentinian airforce has opened an investigation regarding this incident...

That's too bad, it gave me an idea for a new recruiting slogan for them: "Fuerza Area de Argentina. You don't have to be crazy to fly for us, but it helps!" Hehe. ::loony:: 8) ::drinking:: ::whistle::

Bummer. But then, it's not the job of an air force to do dangerous flying and threaten people's lives! ...hang on... ::thinking::

If you watch the HUD carefully, you will notice that the Argentine Air Force IA-63 Pampa advanced trainer was flying at 300 Kts and pulled 5.3 G’s (Max G).
This is not the first Argentina Air Force low flight that has shown up on the internet. This photo is a year or two old. (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KAXGovWmqXg/TefiLzMFO8I/AAAAAAAAAx0/KKHbw5M3mSk/s1600/Tornado+%2528Low+Pass%2529+-+original.jpg)
