A Gentleman's Domain: So, you're standing on your balcony when this happens...

January 30, 2010

So, you're standing on your balcony when this happens...

A Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet crew recently got permission for a low-level demonstration flight, as part of the opening ceremony for a speedboat race on the Detroit River. This is the moment a US Navy pilot gave a shocked resident a very close look at his F18 when the fighter/bomber streaked past an apartment building. It was part of a tactical demonstration fly-by to open a speedboat race. Officials waived rules to allow the Navy fliers to swoop under 100ft along the waterway.

This is an old photo. I have seen that months ago somewhere and was impressed. But in the comments section of that post the consensus was that it is either photoshopped or the distances are distorted through the use of a long telephoto lens or something. Hence my first excitement over the cool shot quickly evaporated. :-)

The Blue Angels buzz San Francisco every fall during Fleet Week. The first year I lived in the city, they scared the heck out of me, they were so low.

Yeah, this pic is probably fake. But it's still cool.
