All I can say is that this is not the thing you see every day…

The Craziest Low Pass Flyby I’ve ever seen

A Spanish pilot friend of mine sends me this stunning video of a low pass flyby in Argentina. I just can’t believe the mad man who was flying this jet got it so close to the ground. Watch:

The airplane is an FMA IA 63, an Argentinean trainer jet that can also fight in combat. I don’t know what speed he is pushing, but this 31-foot wingspan bird can reach 442 knots (509mph, 819km/h) at almost 23,000 feet. One thing is for sure: By the looks of it, it can’t be flying much higher than one meter from the ground at the lowest point.
