This F-16 comes in for a very very low level high speed pass. Some might argue this Viper was way out low, but who cares… as long as the crowd was pleased :)

This Harrier jumpjet comes in for a high speed low pass. That jetblast must have been really hot… anyway awesome pass!

Same Dash 7 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada doing the great fly-by, this time viewed from the opposite side. This video appears to be shot at a greater distance, but you;ll get the picture. Enjoy this great Dash 7 fly-by!

Great video of a low-level fly-by performed by a Dash 7 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. This is really a great fly-by and it’s pretty low :) I like it!

Check out this CH-53E Super Stallion in a maximum power big iron takeoff. This is the biggest helo in the US and is nicknamed “Hurricane Maker” because of its incredible downdraft from the rotor. Check out this amazing takeoff!

A collection of some of the greatest flybys done with airliners. Most of the time you see low level flybys performed by military pilots and their fighters or aerobatic pilots and their nimble airplanes. This time you have the chance to watch Boeings and Airbuses as their pilots go low.

Skyfighters

Skyfighters is the English title given to the French movie “Les chevaliers du ciel”. The film was marketed as the French Top Gun and I don’t think it was a blockbuster mainly due to the ridiculous plot. The film was however very impressive under one aspect and that is the aerial footage, probably some of the best shots of the Dassault Mirage 2000 ever. If you didn’t see this film this is your chance to see the best 12 minutes of it: the planes. The flight sequences from the film were all filmed with actual planes and aerial photography, without the use of CGI. In order to capture the high-speed maneuvers, a specially designed camera was attached to a Mirage 2000 aircraft which then tailed the ‘star planes’ as they flew, for only another Mirage 2000 could actually fly at speeds that matched the planes being filmed.

If someone decides to make a top 10 of the most memorable flying formations then this one should be one of the best. The mighty Concorde, the only successful supersonic passenger airliner leading the members of the Patrouille de France. Must have been quite a sight.

These pilots probably have the time of their lives in Chad. No restrictions, no nothing… just man and machine in a great playground. The Mirage F1 is a very rugged airplane suited to the conditions in Chad where it performs aerial reconnaissance missions. These missions are known as “leisure missions” since pilots have quite a lot of fun doing stuff normally forbidden. Check out some amazing low-level action over the desert of Chad.
