Right moment and a spectacular motive!!! | |
Wow that's very low ! amazing photo | |
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but never old and bold pilots =P. | |
A pilot in the Bulgarian AF did the same kind of thing in the 80s, but with a MiG-21 or 29. He physically had wheat bran stuck in the lower parts of the fuselage. After that everybody called him "the harvester" + he was grounded for years (better grounded and alive than brave in the cemetery). | |
A better close look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFbIyctcUgs | |
Here's a video showing the pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DBLu8Yl1LY | |
Now that's a LOW-PASS ! | |
I think this is more than a low pass, it´s insane! Awesome shot Andres! | |
This pilot sure needs a tour to the cemetery nearest to the airfield. To see the ones who thought they were brave before him. This is just plain stupid. He can't properly control flight height, he has no time in case something goes wrong. Pilots like this one shouldn't be allowed to fly. The sky is not for him. But a very good photo, I have to admit. | |
Amazing capture. Something you will likely never see again in person. Just remember there are old pilots and bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots. | |
It's a very rare moment...perhaps once in a lifetime | |
This is a great photo capture but honestly....and I do not wish to offend anybody. People that praise this sort of flying as being that of heros and very skillfull aviators should think carefully of the example they are setting for others, especially young and up coming wannabee pilots. This low pass and the previous comment of "grass on the wingtips" is dangerous...to say the least!!! | |
Great, and incredible! | |
I can assure that cesar got the skills to do this because i flew with him. I saw him coming back from flying with grass in his plane's wing tips. Awesome. And cheers andres for that fantastic photo. | |
Insanity, insanity, insanity... | |
Look closely to the pilot and his head is leaning towards left, carefully measuring terrain. Everything seems to be under control, to say the least. Imho, no optical ilussion.... Good job! | |
Amazing | |
Probably the lowest low pass of A.net. By the way that's not an optical illusion! Maybe if you see the airplane attitude and flaps configuration carefully, you could say that the pilot was trying to land and the landing gear were up. Excellent shot Andres! Best Regards, Mariano. | |
I think its really silly to endanger the pilot's and aircraft's integrity doing unsafe maneuvers. But yes the picture is very cool. | |
Extraordinary timing - either an imminent crash or a remarkable stunt maneuver, not sure which. | |
Good pilot, but much better photographer. Great job done! | |
It for sure beats the ultra-famous and still marvelous SU-27 flanker pic published here on A.net Fantastic image! thanks for sharing .FZ | |
Was he attempting a belly landing? It sure as hell is a scary low pass otherwise! | |
This is sick, beautiful pic and masterful performance. | |
Excelent! | |
Visitor from Netherlands, what are you smoking? Optical illusion, shadow 100 feet from the plane?? Whatever.. Great action shot, and great panning skill to keep the plane in sharp focus. | |
Imagine , you are the passenger , in this "testosterone airways" flight !!!! | |
Like someone said,,the shadow could be from another plane,,,the angle from the viewer is look like the plane is so close to the ground because of that shadow,,,or the plane is just too close,,,but i kind of doubt that,,,anyway,,,very good shot | |
To the person that posted that there is somewhat of an optical illusion, let me tell you that there are many witnesses (and pictures) of this moment and the plane really was as low as Andres is showing. | |
Kind off photo that will make the pilot turn pale when he sees it after the show.This is a great photo capture but with respect...now hero stuff. My CFI will have one word only..."grounded". Agree there could be optical illusion here. Great capture! | |
It's because the pilot is sitting so low and is suffering a bad spacial desorientation. He just can"t see over his nose and thinks to be muuuch higher. Or he maid have forgoten to lover the gear ... Or is crazy anyway... | |
Nice capture, low pass ehhh. congratulations on the top. | |
Is he able to get the aircraft that low to the ground by luck or skill? That is insane! Regardless, amazing capture. Thanks for sharing | |
Probably a little bit of optic illusion going on here, the shadow could be of a different plane or the angle of the sun could be not so high in the sky. The shadow looks to be a couple of 100 feet behind the airplane. | |
WOW ! Another "loco en el coco", great capture Andres ! | |
Amazing. Only now I understand why it has a tail skid. It prevents scratching the paint on the tail. | |
This is the LOWEST of ALL low passes!! | |
Just testing ground effect.... | |
WOW...he ALMOST ties the record | |
"Oh yeah, landing gear. I knew there was something I forgot." | |
Way too dangerous, i think the pilot should answer a few questions to see wether he is still up to the job. Serious. Our flight instructors get chopped down if they fly too much, because of the risk of getting too relaxed and routine. They are only allowed to fly a max number of hours. | |
Holy cow, he is low! | |
I'd use a conventional lawn mower myself, but I appreciate the creativity | |
Beautiful shot. Excellent pilot eye. | |
Lower would be unreasonable ... Incredible ! | |
Wow...this is lower than my truck | |
Insane! But a great shot anyway! | |
What is so strange in this photo??? You can mow the lawn by burning it... so what??? :-D Excellent work!!! And a brave pilot. | |
No margin for error. | |
Yeah that's lower than low and who is sweating ??? No klm heavy here. Cheers Andres | |
Is the pilot even aware that he is flying so low...? :) | |
Yeah this guy has the skills to pay the bills thats for sure. | |
No more ants on this runway. | |
Real extreme! | |
May be the lowest pass ever! Beyond that its a crash | |
I'm sure that if the main landing gear is down, he could't get so close to the ground. Fantastic. | |
Until the day... PS: BTW, A hell of a Photo\m/ | |
WOW! That is the NEW lowest pass that I've ever seen. What are we talking here? 3 inches? Wild! | |
As they say in Cambodia, ឆ្កួត (crazy!). But a great capture of a rare moment. | |
O_O Give a whole knew meaning to being 'In the weeds' I don't think pilots are supposed to take that expression quite so literally though. | |
Low pass? Not, just training with a very fast loan mower. Best picture ever. | |
From the thumbnail I was convinced this was a static exhibit! I didn't believe any aircraft would fly this low without gear extended! | |
>>I think it's too dangerous. +1! Crazy... | |
Never saw an aircraft so close to the ground, even with main gear extended | |
5* | |
Just... unbelievable! | |
Great picture, and great optical effect too, as the shadow is more distant and it looks like it's exactly below | |
That is some impressive flying! | |
Wow! | |
Crazy man ... | |
Landing gear ! Landing gear ! Perhaps the pilot is in love with the warning voice ... Before seeing this picture, I do not believe that someone would fly so low ! Right time, right place Mister Andres D. Luna | |
5 *s!! Did anyone say Jet Lawn Mower?? | |
Incredible! How is it possible? He is at 1 ou 2 feet from the ground, no?. | |
A great way to mow the lawn... | |
Are you sure it wasnt an emergency landing?!! | |
Wow! | |
More good luck than great piloting for not planting himself into the ground! Awesome shot!!!! | |
Cant get lower than this, great one dude | |
I think it's too dangerous. But rare shoot!:) | |
Wow check how low the tail is at the back...you sure he wasnt belly landing?? | |
Foreget about SXM, this is LOW! :-D | |
Spoken about a LOW pass, never saw an aircraft with main gears retracted so close to the ground!! nice | |
