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

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

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.
