I always consider aircraft as Ordnance delivery systems. They can also be very entertaining in other ways.
We all remember Tom Cruise in the Movie " TOP GUN" when he makes a low pass
near the control tower and causes an officer to spill coffee down his
shirt. Well, here are short clips of the top 10 low pass flybys ever filmed
... and of course for nostalgia, let's see that Top Gun low pass again. Pay
particular attention to the last shown low pass. It is number one. Watch
the halo of water around the plane. It happened during a Blue Angels event
over San Francisco several years ago. It was the pilot's last show with the
team and he had nothing to lose. Many of the boats in the bay lost windows
to the sonic blast. It's a kick.
Number 3 was pretty impressive too. Some camera shake on several, but what
the hey.
