I don't think I would have been able to hold my self there. I would have hit the dirt when I realized it wasn't going to climb any time soon.

Try this for a low pass. Pick it up at about 50 seconds. They guys on the embankment are due for fresh underwear due to the zero feet above them :o

No matter how low these passes are, they are higher than the Cub that smacked the reporter in the head with its wing. ;)

If a smaller fighter jet like a F-16 was to pass him at mach 1 that low he wouldnt have a choice it would throw him a good distance across the ground!!!

P.S. and he would be deaf by the sonic boom and probably be out of breath from it knocking the wind out of him.
