Seen that before, but still looks damn nice. Imagine going .9 mach at that level.. I would love it!

I have some pics and videos of Jaguars flying very low somewhere in Afrika. There is a picture where one low flying Jag had crunched one taxi´s roof while following road.. :D

In one video they made low pass with 3 jags and the last one came real low, barely 1m over surface..

That just reminds me about one incident which we had at Oulu airport before my starting working there.

Finnish AF had live ammo shooting camp and guys had somekind of wager going on who could take gear in fastest->make shortest takeoff run..plane was Saab J-35 Draken
Well that ended badly, one guy took gear in too fast and it hit the ground... belly tanks took hit and started leaking JetA1. Guy just made turn and landed, fearing ignition of the fuel by jet exhaust. When he managed to stop the plane he jumped hell out of the plane and ran away. Fuel kept leaking under the plane....
Well , the plane was on a mission for live  missile shooting, so it was loaded with guns and missiles, and the nose of the aircraft happened to point on some aviation fans taking pics on the other side of the fence about 50m away. They just looked amazed what was going on but they never realised until FD told them to move that plane was loaded. I would have thought that something would be wrong when pilot leaves plane at speed of sound by feet.. :rofl

Luckily it didn´t ignite.:aok

Was that a typical Jaguar wing contrail, or did I actually see one of those loonies dipping his wing into the sea?

You can do this too, but probably not at those speeds
"500 feet from any person vehicle vessel or structure" is what the FAA requires

You wanted to know why we pay so much taxes ?

It's to send our pilot near Djibouti for their training !

Similiar experience but not as funnai as yours! Fishing on a mountain lake at White Pass where Navy A6 intruders do their NOE training, they like to cut their engines when they crest the mountain top, glide over the lake NOE, then hit the throttle. Scares the crap outta me everytime, and its happened more than once.

He absolutely positively did NOT put a wing tip in the water.

He is still in an airplane not a pile of aluminum confetti.

Water is very hard at that speed.

It was a contrail

Very cool vid,  sigh... to have that much fun and get paid for it.
