Before WWI started one Russian pilot performed a flight under ALL bridges on Neva river in StPeterburg.

In 1939 one Soviet pilot flew unfer the bridge 4 times for a "Valeriy Chkalov" movie. Four times - because operators had to make more footage.

In 2000 one Lithuanian pilot flew under 6 bridges in Vilnus. The flight was seen by thousands of people, and taped by local TV stations.

This guy is a total maniac.He sais he has no fear at all.I`ve seen him fly that extra300.
He`d fly upside down so close to the ground,that he`s vertical stabilazer is touching the grass.

Hello!

Szia Caligula!

I get some info about this under fly happening.

If water level in Danube is normall, there is 7m space between river skin and bridge.

If info what I get is true Extra 300 is 3.5m high. From wheels to the top of the rudder...

Under fly is a part of the movie and Mr. Peter make this fly as a stunt pilot...

I go to the Budapest this saturday to see show :-D
