Thanks James. That looks like one fun pass at first sight but re-runs
show
how close the pilot was to disaster. I guess the camera was on a
stand, if
I'd been holding you'd have seen a lot of grass!


You can see the shadow rise up towards the aircraft at one point, so the
ground wasn't as flat as it looks. I wonder how close his prop tips were
to the ground then.

It's definitely a "holy ****" pass, but it put a very valuable aircraft
at risk, as well as at least three lives, and if he'd crashed or even
"just" sliced the reporter and cameraman to red froth without crashing
the aircraft, it wouldn't have had a favourable effect on the continued
operation of warbirds.
