VIDEO: JETS FLYING LOW

First, a compilation video of US Air Force pilots purportedly in Afghanistan and Iraq trying some close shaves of their own. DUCK!

When measuring how insane a flyby is there are a few factors to consider beyond just distance from the ground. There's type of aircraft (in this case F-16s), where they're doing it, and just how much crap they'll take from their commander if the video is ever leaked (assuming the commander isn't the one doing it).

By these measures, these guys are both skilled and a little nuts.


Second, The Argentinean pilots who flew this FMA IA 63 jet trainer at one meter from the ground in high definition from the cockpit of the plane. It's going to blow your mind:Make sure to click on the video to see at full screen. The skills of this guy are amazing, but his courage, or madness, defies belief. He had a big possibility of something going sightly wrong and crashing or hitting some of those guys filming below. For much less, the Blue Angels' leader stepped down (although obviously the context is different).

Some of cockpit information has been blacked-out at their request, to avoid being identified.
