Navy vs. TCU flyover

[FastMover]

Wow, I've never seen one this low. We need to get this guy to buzz a few Gator games next season.

The film looks altered.

While I can't claim any knowledge of legitimate film or not, I can say that I've been in the stadium and seen flyovers that low before...

I can't pull up the video due to Non-Mission Capable Internet, but I'm willing to be that it's the flyover I'm thinking of. If it is, I was in the stands that day, and the guy was wicked low. ESPN used it as the opening clip on Sportscenter for two days afterwards because it they had a camera looking down on the aircraft from the upper level of the stadium. I think that I read later on that the guy almost got a flight violation because of it as well, but I could be mistaken.

If it's real, that's some wicked shity videography skilz. Sounds like the announcer says, "Let's welcome Major Michael Moore." Anyone know him?

I'd say the video is real... Here's another clip, but with professional photgraphy involved...

Good find. I'm a believer now.

 

[EODDave]

Its real.

 

[Yessir]

Its real. I was there on the field. I could feel the heat when he kicked it into burner and my uniform reaked of jet fuel til I got it dry cleaned

 

[MIDNJAC]

Repost....although I'm glad you did because I was looking for this clip the other day

 

[MSkinsATC]

I thought I heard about this guy getting in a bit of trouble for that...I think the story went the FAA and command were waiting when he got back...just what I remember hearing, it was a while back so dont hold me to it!

The command can do something, but the FAA can't do crap to him. Only the CNO can violate a a Naval Aviator (but that doesn't mean blow the rules off).

 

[gaijin6423]

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Almost made me spill my (smuggled-in) drink.

I'm pretty sure I was at this one -- the 2006 Academy graduation. My buddy was graduating and now he's off finishing up SEAL training in Alaska... silly guy... doesn't he know all the cool people go for flight


htj <-- awaiting SNA final selection
