No matter how low you fly, F/A-18 is still a piece of watermelon though.

While I realize that there is a hook sticking out of this stinky bait...

He was practicing touch and goes. Ive seen C-130s do it also. Correct me if Im wrong, been a long time, but thats how C-130s/17s deliver combat sleds of cargo. They touch and go releasing the sled on a chute. I think its called CDS for container delivery system.

This guys airspeed was way to high for him to actually be considering a landing. Cool footage however.
