Vadr post this link to a movie.

When ya see it, you'll say "Holy SH*T!!!!"

I can't believe this guy did this, only way I'd even think about tryin this stunt is if I were told by my doctor I had a terminal illness   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

LOL! That's great!

It has to be Europe though.  They'd never allow that in the States.

What a dweeb! Did you guys see that unrealistic negative G move?!? No way a real pilot could do that!

Did you see how close his tail was to the water.

What would have happened had it dipped into the water even a bit.

I heard he said he would never do it again.  I bet he saw the film, saw how close his tail got to the water, and decided never to do it again then.

here's some details:

FLYING UNDER BRIDGES -- A NEW TRADITION? Lithuanian pilot Jurgis Kairys
has said he would like to make flying under bridges a new tradition in
his country, and to further this cause on Saturday he flew inverted
under a low bridge across the Nemunas River in Kaunas. As reported by
the Associated Press, the span-to-water clearance was about 33 feet.
Cheered on by a crowd of 200,000, Kairys, age 48, performed his stunt in
a Russian-made SU-26. Kairys, who flew under 10 city bridges in the
Lithuanian capital Vilnius last year, said he didn't think he would do
this particular stunt again, "even for a big reward." It seems even
"tradition" is not a strong enough motivator for some exploits.

I take it you guys already know about the mad african crop sprayers who 'water ski' under bridges for light entertainment in the evenings?

ie. with the gear just touching the surface of the water.
