It's surprisingly easy to get in that situation! I've had a few close calls over the years.

RAAF flyby at Brisbane Riverfire. Apparently some people were upset at how low it was.

That plane isn't too low - the buildings are too high!

It gets even lower than that every time it lands.

I never had a close call with an aircraft slipping off it's jacks, however I did often wonder how it stayed on when lowering the U/C and it locking down!

I have to admit if I wasn't expecting a flypast and had the same view as the video camera, my heart would have been doing side leaps.

Reports are half of the F22 fleet are gone. They were grounded when the hurricane hit land and were destroyed along with the base.

55 planes divided by 2 = 27.5 x 475 = 13062m$ worth of plane. Plus the base and collateral damage obviously.

MAGA......
