Let's combine them and fly the 747, inverted, under the bridge.  Now I would pay to see THAT.

Wildest aerobatic stunt I've seen was when a pilot intentionally put his horizontal stab into the water when skimming inverted just above water level.

Northwest Airlines used to display a 747 like that at Oshkosh.

I have reviewed the film several times and can find no indication that the 747 was 100 ft off the deck (I doubt it was anywere near that) I was at every AnS show sense they started them and two years ago the had a retiring 727 put on a very nice show (not 100 ft off the water but around 500 ft. The show from a B-52 about 4 or 5 years ago was very nice also. The size of these things can make the speed and alt. seem slower and lower then they are.

I was a Crash/Rescue Fire Fighter in the USAF from 80 to 84 and stood stand by for the Air show every year (good duty). I was mid field center (the ThunderBirds used our fire trucks as part of the show line). We had a C-5 do a similar show to this and wow it seamed so slow and low when I found out it did the entire show no lower then 1000 feet I could not believe it ,it seemed much lower.
