Uhhhh anyone have an extra pair of shorts. Whoever was filming that was fighting the instinct for self preservation very hard. You could tell they tried so hard to not duck down. While I am a fan of low passes on video that one was so low that just a minor hick-up would cause certain disaster. Still so awesome to see.

Way too low for me! I love it though.

Uhhhh, Yep, that was a low pass alright. One way to keep them from commenting on the oily belly! And silly me, why haven't I been keeping track of all that single engine time I have accumulated in multi's? Pretty sure he's got me beat.
