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.

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.

Regards

Are you sure you don't mean the vertical stabilizer?
I fail to see how anyone could get horizontal stabilizer into the water and survive.
The moment it hits the water and if tried to get under the water, it would slam the nose section against water.

Almost halfway through the clip, it makes a pass from right to left across the flight line and I bet he's under a 100 feet by the look of the shadow on the ground...

For a second there at the end I thought he was going to go inverted, or loop over. Thats a pretty steep climb.
