More Good Stuff from George Drago
Our friend George sent this to me today, and I had to pass it on to all of you! As the guys on Mythbusters say, "Don't try this at home because [they] are what we call experts!" At driving airplanes, that is.
We all remember Tom Cruise in the Movie " TOP
GUN" when he makes a low pass near the control tower and causes an officer
to spill coffee down his shirt.
Well here are short clips of the top 10 low pass
flybys ever filmed ... and of course for nostalgia, let's see that Top Gun low
pass again at the beginning.
Pay particular attention to the last shown low
pass. It is number one. Watch the halo of water around the plane. It happened
during a Blue Angels event over San Francisco several years ago. It was the
pilot's last show with the team and he had nothing to lose. Many of the boats in the bay lost windows to the
sonic blast. It's a kick to watch.
Low pass number 3 was pretty impressive too.
(Be sure to turn up the sound!)
