Some tasty action there!! I think the top 10 should include the scene from the Battle of Britain film where the 'ME109's' beat up the Hurricanes on their 'French' airfield. The low flying is amazing and, I think, was carried out by Spanish AF pilots...Pedro Santa Cruz?

There can't be much that can better this low level flypast, but it is not a fighter, they got away with it!

Greenham Common one year the Dutch airforce Fellowship got to the end of the runway and pulled up the wheels rather than the nose.

Lechfeld 1978 when 41 Sqn had an exchange with 32 Geschwadder. The final morning saw a flypast of 4 Jags & 4 F104s at less than 50'. One of the Jags was then knocked 20' downwards by the jetwash from the 104 in front of him. Those of us on the ground moved quick!

I am assured by a relative who was in the runway caravan that a Viggen visiting Leuchars had to do an extra circuit as on the first flypast he was too low to lower the wheels.

Early 1990s I was driving along a Fenland road whan a Belgian Mirage V overtook me on the inside. To show how low he was, the pilot had black hair sticking out under his white helmet.

They did it with a C135FR, as it was the French!
Didn't really think the yanks would try that one did you?
All awesome but for me it's between Ray Hanna and the Mirage F1 haircut!
Cheers, Stig.
