I agree with ED........you know that pilot had no intention of being that low.....how did he maintain 8 feet, or thereabouts, with no variation? Guy could have been left headless....even if he is brainless.
Actually, the aircraft is probably at about 25 to 30 ft. altitude when it passes over the guy standing in the middle of the frame and the camera man, it only appears like it is at 8 ft. or so. How do I know this? having been buzzed in convoy and on foot I have seen this live.
I love the way the aircraft grows from a black speck on the horizon to passing overhead in just a few seconds. I was always impressed at that and I always wondered, when this happened to us infantry types, how the hell does anybody shoot that down?
I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
Better than coffee.

You know that guy is coming in low when ducking goes from reflex to pretty good idea.

ReplyDeleteThat is simply stupid.
ReplyDeleteYou really have to trust someone to stand there for that. Of course, if it went wrong for the buzzee, he'd never know it.
