Having been to Skiathos a few times I can say landing here is a bit hairy.

Technically landing, but whatever. It's

Remember kids, you can only get a draw for the low flying record...

1979 I worked at British Aerospace at Brough. The Buccaneers were built there. When on manouvers in the area they would do a fly over the sheds. Come low over the Yorkshire Wolds and suddenly appear, then the noise, the feel of the wash and engines. Quite something.

Love the voice of Pilot on intercom

A little too low! (Both pilots ejected ok)

The Buccaneer nearly always wins - but this one was a bit cheeky!

And this blurs the line between low pass and crash!

That last one is wing tip vortex condensation not dust. Hard to tell just how low it is...

Tornado span is 13.9m in 25 wing so maybe 2m?

The Canberras are both shopped.

Attach an extra pointy bit to the nose and if he runs out of ammo he could always spear the enemy.

When I was surveying the Derbyshire dales I was nearly knocked off the top of a dry stone wall on top of a 50 foot cliff by a low flying A10A

Hong Kongs old Kai Tak airport, Difficult enough landing without the cross wind.

You only need to walk around SE London for a few minutes to see lots of low flying planes turning into Heathrow.. 30 miles away... creating a soul splitting noise too!
