That's insane!  He couldn't have meant to come quite THAT low!  Wow...those guys could have been killed, but still...how exciting was that!  Thanks for posting this, I've seen lots of "low pass" videos, but never this one. Laugh

I have a feeling the guy holding the camera was almost knocked over by the pass. If you watch it a couple of times, there is a single frame that shows the plane just feet away if the wingtip isn't actually over the guy.

 

I have seen some low passes (the classic P51 or Spitfire one) but I expected to see either bodies cut in half, plane wreckage or both.

So to quiet the naysayers, the pilot of that Argentinian FMA jet trainer sent Gizmodo.com a copy of the HUD footage from that one-meter flyby!
