A visitor from Romania posted Thu November 8, 2012: This is the kind of precision flying that ace students of the golden era are capable of. They knew their job better than they knew their wives. Quite a contrast when you think about the captain of Crossair Flight 3597 who failed to perform navigation and landing procedures on numerous occasions.
A visitor from - posted Wed November 7, 2012: The worlds best low flying skills,with one of the worlds best equipment.
A visitor from - posted Sat November 3, 2012: Impressive!
A visitor from - posted Tue July 24, 2012: Since its very close to ground on the Lower side there will be Lower pressure under, and higher pressure over the plane. Thus even the relatively smaller air pressure variations otherwise will have much greater Effect here, smacking the aircraft to the Ground. Thus its BASICALLY an act of Bravado and skill I would say
A visitor from - posted Sat July 7, 2012: When refueling probe is extended sensitivity of stick is lower (for refueling ops)
A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue June 26, 2012: Dude, this isn't a hovercraft!! Pull the hell up.
A visitor from France posted Mon May 28, 2012: Flying lower than 1m. That's less than 3 ft agl. If you were to try to drop the gear at that level, I'd wager you'd be too low. The margin of error here is insanely small. This is one heavily smacked gob on this end. Well done, pilots and photographer.

A visitor from - posted Fri May 14, 2010: I wonder what speed, any air pockets and he's got to scrape, no? Great photo!
A visitor from - posted Mon May 10, 2010: Probably the best photo in A.net, just look all the comments below!
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 15, 2010: Yes, this is an excellent shot of an excellent pilot. The real danger at this altitude is in ingesting some FOD and killing your plane. As the center of flight control is about half-way back at this speed, the pilot can't just yank back on the stick for altitude without putting the back end in the dirt. Not good for the airplane or one's career.As to the comment that US pilots would never fly like this, we would take our F/A-18s into the lonely country NE of Miramar (California) for some "practice" and our plane captain would always bitch about the chunks of tree leaves and plants caught in the gaps and cracks. We always paid him off with beer until one day, after some particularly brutal "practice" he said "your need to come see Major Wilhite's ride!" There, in the left slat, was a chunk of hide, maybe rabbit or fox or something. We just stared at each other and laughed. Was that low enough for you? Semper Fi!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu April 15, 2010: "Too Low Gear"
A visitor from - posted Wed April 14, 2010: I really love the perfect angle that u have that really show how low of an altitude of the plane. great work man keep them keeping
A visitor from Australia posted Wed April 14, 2010: That's a thriller (aha aha) I like it (aha aha)
A visitor from United States posted Tue April 6, 2010: "Look mom, no wheels"
A visitor from - posted Sun March 7, 2010: Nice Pic! This is easy to do in any plane because of "ground effect". The air under the plane has nowhere to go when the plane is so low resulting in a cushion that's hard to break through at higher speeds.
A visitor from Germany posted Tue March 2, 2010: Not guts - no glory!!
A visitor from United States posted Tue February 23, 2010: Five stars for shure...insane!!!!

A visitor from Argentina posted Sat January 23, 2010: Outstanding photographer to get this picture. Outstanding pilot to keep the plane in so low level.
A visitor from - posted Mon January 11, 2010: SImply amazing! I would call this "pushing the envelope"! I'm still partial to the wonderful American military pilot's who fly the awesome F-18's ..... I'm looking forward to seeing the new unbelievable F-35's come into the military service! I love my country and it's people!
A visitor from - posted Wed January 6, 2010: Its not the boundary layer, what u refered to. its called Ground Effect, and i really dont think they are using it right there. trust me. =)

A visitor from - posted Tue October 20, 2009: That's what I call pilot trust on his equipment: precise altimeter and ready ejection seats! The co-pilot must be praying for Boris having not forgotten to lay down the landing gear :>). Just kidding. The best ever photo. Congratulations for both pilot and photographer!!!!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri September 18, 2009: Great shot
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 18, 2009: It don't take as steady a hand to do this as one might think, I saw B-1 Lancer driver do the same thing in full after-burner (wish I'd had a camera set up for that). It has something to do with what is called boundry layer air, pilots report that at certain speeds over flat terrain they can't force the airplane into the ground. BTW I read an account by a B-36 crew man about a major who became angry over some silly rule and did a buzz job at his home air field (Carswell AFB I think) and got a royal chewing out from the base C.O. who afterwards told him it was the best buzz job he had ever seen. Too bad nobody caught that on film!
A visitor from Mexico posted Thu September 3, 2009: Just killer! wonder how many can say I can do it!Grreat!
A visitor from - posted Wed September 2, 2009: Great pilot and great photo p.s. there is no photoshop here, u can also see Kvochur's low pas at youtube

A visitor from - posted Fri August 21, 2009: Simply the best ever..., nothin words to say..., hats off..., awesome..!!!!!
A visitor from Australia posted Wed August 5, 2009: Dynamic - close to ground!
A visitor from Pakistan posted Wed August 5, 2009: Because it is flying lower than 1m ..... unbelievable. A classic ...
A visitor from Germany posted Tue August 4, 2009: No way guys, theres no photoshop used in this pic. First of all theres no exhaust, because the pilot turned the engine on idle. And why shouldn't that be possible. If you fly an airplane for several years in flight shows you surely have a very good feeling for it. Pidarassi wi vseh!!!
A visitor from - posted Thu July 30, 2009: Also, how come the air is not distorted around the exhaust?
A visitor from - posted Thu July 30, 2009: That plane is not moving - if it were, there would be visible compression waves off the tail. Go to youtube and search for "blue angels three passes" for the best low fly by ever!
A visitor from - posted Thu July 30, 2009: Holy Crap! I can't even imagine what that would look and feel like from the front seat.
A visitor from United States posted Thu July 30, 2009: Um... looks like someone used a bit of photoshop!! Completely unrealistic

A visitor from India posted Mon August 4, 2008: Really an amazing stunt.it was a really unique experience.
A visitor from United States posted Mon July 28, 2008: I question whether this is real or not, it appears the jet is gliding due to no washout due to engine. look at the center line of the runway just behind the plane....
A visitor from - posted Fri July 25, 2008: Precision at its limit, both the pilot and the photographer, although people used to the metric system if taking a thorough look at the proportion of the plane size and relative objects around will see it's not at 1m from the ground - but indeed as daring as it can be.
A visitor from - posted Wed July 9, 2008: Awesome!!!! That's what I love to see at an airshow!!!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 5, 2008: That reminds me on "duck and cover". ;-) Great shot!

A visitor from Canada posted Mon June 23, 2008: To the visitor from Britain, I really don't think this is an optical illusion. If the photographer says 1m, then the plane is flying at 1m above ground. I can't quite believe what I'm seeing though... it's a captivating shot. One of the best on this site for sure.

A visitor from Bulgaria posted Sat May 31, 2008: Unbelievable! No comment!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 29, 2008: Great shot. The plane is higher than it looks, since its over a runway in the foreground, not shown. It being over the white line is a line-of-sight illusion. The shot still is great, though.
A visitor from Switzerland posted Mon May 12, 2008: I wouldn't want to be under that thing! Incredible

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 21, 2006: As a photograph it is ok, the tip of the jet is clipped and focus not perfect. Catching this is hard no doubt; the motion and so close. But what these guys are doing!!! Wow, that is amazing. How long did they stay down there? That takes some serious solid titanium you-know-whats. I wouldn't post this as art, but as an aviation enthusiast I love it!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon June 26, 2006: I've seen an Extra 300S do this inverted. The pilot must have had nerves of steel. But that's the same for this pilot. a little lower and he ruins a beautiful airplane and... most likely... himself!

It looks like a still plane or a magnetic levitation craft. The pilot (guts, Jedi-like mastering) and the photographer (clear image, crisp colors, no blur) met perfect conditions (wind, place, camera, light, ...). Five stars for both skilled men.

A visitor from Poland posted Sun April 9, 2006: Gosh... It seems that Russians want to refuel from... ground tanker. I wonder who will made enough fast fuel truck :-)))
A visitor from India posted Sun April 9, 2006: It's amazing that this photo should have captured the plane flying at its outrageously low altitude. it must have been a truly difficult shot to get in the frame as well, as the plane would have been going incredibly fast. I guess the film speed was extreme as well, since the background is not blurred
A visitor from Spain posted Sun April 9, 2006: Torero. Very beautiful
A visitor from Mexico posted Sun April 9, 2006: Rusia have the best pilots of the world
A visitor from Argentina posted Sun April 9, 2006: Because it's really impresive the low-low altitude and that it's beutifull and exciting!!

A visitor from United States posted Fri April 7, 2006: Absolutely beautiful when in a clean configuration...and even better looking when it's flying 5 feet off of the ground
A visitor from Singapore posted Fri April 7, 2006: Wow! If I lay flat on the ground, my headful of hair would've been blown away! I thought this is only possible in movies like "Mission Impossible" or "James Bond". Sublime flying skill here, no doubt. Thanks for sharing, Zhang.
A visitor from Algeria posted Fri April 7, 2006: Gears up, flaps up!! the pilot should be the most skilled or the most insane; good shot zheng.

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Thu April 6, 2006: I'm proud that I know this pilot and I used to work with him in terms of Su-27's engine modernization. I thought that A. Kvochur has left Flight Research Institute and I'm happy that I was wrong.
A visitor from Finland posted Thu April 6, 2006: He forgot his glasses... can't see the ground :) Amazing trick, major balls needed to do that.
A visitor from Germany posted Thu April 6, 2006: Sorry to all the proud air forces out there.. this kind of flying is only be done by mad russian pilots.. simply amazing!

A visitor from Australia posted Thu April 6, 2006: Bloody Hell! I'd hate to think what would happen if he encountered some turbulane! Great shot
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 6, 2006: If that is flying that low to the ground, that's amazing, plus that is a sweet plane.
A visitor from Mexico posted Thu April 6, 2006: Good pilot
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu April 6, 2006: Very dramatic, plus its a Sukhoi
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 6, 2006: This photo is awesome because it captures the grace and handling of the aircraft so well. The lack of a speed blur or flames from an afterburner almost makes the jet look as if it were sitting idling on a taxiway!
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 6, 2006: Now this takes balls!
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 6, 2006: Good photo. Hard to believe they can do what our USAF aero teams do. I noticed no flaps; airspeed? In reality, this is old tech. We have the "bathtub"; stealthy too! Gilles Fireagle

A visitor from Canada posted Wed April 5, 2006: Low level, weels up flying........... Dose it get any better!!! This is truly one of the most beautiful fighter aircraft ever built. When you look at the stick jockeys you get a good prospective of just how big this plane is. This pic is way to cool ! ! !
A visitor from United States posted Wed April 5, 2006: That is pure insanity to fly at such a height without the gear down. I'm a pilot myself and its incredibly difficult to hold a low altitude at high speeds. Great shot of it though!
A visitor from Mexico posted Tue April 4, 2006: Nice airplane,the best of the world
A visitor from Slovakia posted Tue April 4, 2006: It's an amazing shot...cuz the aircraft is flying at a very high speed...

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue April 4, 2006: That's incredible! It's extremely low. Nice photo.
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Tue April 4, 2006: I love that pilot already! He and his "Steel bird" is one creature here! But such risks is not for me... besides - i`m a girl. So sad about it!
A visitor from Germany posted Tue April 4, 2006: I can't trust my eyes as I watch this . . .
A visitor from United States posted Tue April 4, 2006: I love photos taken from a downward looking aspect. This is one ballsy pilot.

A visitor from United States posted Tue April 4, 2006: Great photo showing the precision performance of both airplane and pilot! One mistake and its all over, but the pilot holds it together!
A visitor from Barbados posted Tue April 4, 2006: Not only is the detail and colours dramatic, the mere feat of flying at that height makes the picture all that more dramatic.
A visitor from United States posted Tue April 4, 2006: Holy %#*@ blown away by this pic. Does it look as though the inflight refuel probe is extended. If so why on earth ?
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue April 4, 2006: Amazing pilots and amazing photographer! It just looks like it is hovering in mid-air.
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 3, 2006: Those Russians sure can put on an air show! Does that look like the inflite refueling probe sticking out the upper left of the nose.
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 3, 2006: Beautiful picture of a very clean aircraft!!! considering how quickly the aircraft was flying by (some have said ~300kts) I am especially impressed by the clarity and crispness of the aircraft markings and rway lines aft of the aircraft.
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 3, 2006: I see in an earlier commentary that the pilot is Anatoliy Kvochur, a wonderful individual as well as the consumate test pilot...! He was also the pilot who took a bird strike (at Farnborough I believe) in a Mig-29 and performed a zero time ejection only after making sure the crowd was safe and that the aircraft couldn't be saved. Every time he exists the cockpit following a flight display he does a roman press, revealing just how composed he is...!! He also has a hand-shake like solid granite. On top of it all he is the most humble person you could imagine in spite of his obvious talents...!
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 3, 2006: Now THAT's what I call high-speed taxiing...! Would love to see the adrenalin levels for these guys, especially the back-seater along for the ride.
A visitor from Mexico posted Mon April 3, 2006: So close to the ground and so paralel to it. Amazing!
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon April 3, 2006: Best techique I'ver seen.
A visitor from Canada posted Mon April 3, 2006: It is amazing to see how low the plane can go and how brave the pilots are. the plane looks nice as well. what can i say the russians rule
A visitor from Greece posted Mon April 3, 2006: Simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E. That pilot is just... just... I'm sitting speechless.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 3, 2006: Cool! It looks like it's just hovering over the ground!
A visitor from Egypt posted Mon April 3, 2006: The angle of the pic was great and the plane made an outstanding fly "over"!!!
A visitor from Austria posted Mon April 3, 2006: This is "THE" ultimate master of low-level-flying at work! Just wonderful.
A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 3, 2006: Both, pilot and photographer showed expert skills. Thanks to them for that masterpiece. By the way: Did the tower say: low level or mow level? ;-)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 3, 2006: It even looks like he's on the ground, apart from he has no landing gear!!! *****
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon April 3, 2006: Great Pilot. And Great Russia!!!
A visitor from Finland posted Mon April 3, 2006: I will do the same with my C-172! They are nuts!
A visitor from Greece posted Mon April 3, 2006: A great display of airmanship. Reminds me of the old films about WWI when pilots used to fly and not just press buttons.
A visitor from Uruguay posted Mon April 3, 2006: Just two words absolutly awesome!
A visitor from Norway posted Mon April 3, 2006: WOW. This is impossible, or I thought it was. But after I saw this picture, I found out that nothing is impossible for russian pilots.
A visitor from Norway posted Mon April 3, 2006: Lovely clear shot of the a/c! Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Not very often to be seen! RS
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon April 3, 2006: The pilot's name is Anatoliy Kvochur. The trick looks even better when he flies over water.
A visitor from Serbia And Montenegro posted Mon April 3, 2006: Exelent moment of life.
A visitor from United States posted Mon April 3, 2006: I have a friend who as engineer and he passed on the following in regards to the posts asking about the speed of the Sukhoi in the picture: Based upon the angle of attack, and adjusting for ground effect, I would estimate his speed at something close to 300 knots. Any slower would require a much greater angle of attack and much faster would begin to form some type of condensation in the air around the plane.
A visitor from Norway posted Mon April 3, 2006: Unbelievable! I wonder if both pilots are involved in controlling the plane at the moment or one of them is flying and the other is praying to the God of Altitude Controls... Amazing piece of flying!
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon April 3, 2006: The pilot's technique is outstanding. The maestro's name Anatoliy Kvochur. He also shows this trick above water - looks even better. He's neither landing nor taking off - he's flying over runway. Patrol de France's and Fracci Tricolore's planes are much lighter, but they can't repeat the same trick.
A visitor from Poland posted Mon April 3, 2006: Breathtaking, amazing, i'm proud i'm a slav.
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon April 3, 2006: No comments... It's work!

A visitor from China posted Sun April 2, 2006: Exciting photo! There is blasting dynamics of gliding aircraft or levitating weightless giant (zero gravity, magic is real!). Perfect shot, Congratulations, Master Zheng. Czesc
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 2, 2006: WOW Crazy Russians as usual:) I bet the pilot of this one was deaf after this from the autopilot screaming PULL UP, PULL UP, TO LOW GEAR TO LOW FLAPS TERRAIN TERARIN PULL UP. Nice work :)

A visitor from Canada posted Sun April 2, 2006: May be it is my emotion about what plane pilot does and not the quality of the image itself. But this image caught my attantion right away. I just like it a lot.
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 2, 2006: Excellent picture...it demosnstrates how fast this plane must begoing for there to be enough lift. yet it seems frozen in time..... I would love to se this same scenario with vapour tracers to see the airflow underneath the plane!!
A visitor from Malaysia posted Sun April 2, 2006: How low it can go, I guess all that training is really worth it.
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 2, 2006: Crazy Ivan!! Awesome though...

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun April 2, 2006: Insane flying... must be the lowest fly-by I've ever seen. Truly impressive, since it isn't much room for error.
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 2, 2006: What a sleek, gorgeous, perfect jet, nice paint scheme, *and* fairly good flying skills to boot! Wing commander: "Piotr, were you drinking before flight? Maybe you transfer to naval hovercraft unit, da?"
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 2, 2006: The aircraft seems to be flying quite fast, the angle of attack is very small. Only Su-30 doing tumbles in the air top this one.
A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun April 2, 2006: Man that russian is a real dare devil. dang. superb shot. right place at the right time....
