Now that's low flying!


The man standing beneath this US Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier II jet (not an F/A-18 Hornet, as the video title claims) is lucky to be alive! He didn't flinch as the aircraft flashed over him . . . but if that pilot had been only five or six feet out in his height estimation, he wouldn't have had a head left on his shoulders!

The guy in the video didn't flinch, but the cameraman sure did! :)

It's not a Harrier, either. It's a Mirage F1 (smaller intakes, less anhedral on the wings, refueling probe on the right in front of the cockpit instead of on the left beside it).

I can see doing it once, but THREE times?!!:>)

That man has balls of pure Titanium.

Dang! Still, could have improved it by looking up as the plane went over.
