You can never beat the low flying record. You can only tie it.
Challenge accepted, going to make a flying plow.
Valid.
the Turkish low pass was done for filming purposes of a tv series produced by the government-run tv channel. the pod on the left chin is the IR navigation pod since the jet is from the "LANTIRN" sqn. on another note, yes, there is a SEAD sqn as well.. cheers :)
Ah now it makes sense
In my mind that makes it even more stupid 😅 Looks cool though, I'll give it that.
And this pilot is that squadron's commander. A General. :o
Oligarch: "Please lite my cigar in most expensive and dangerous way possible"
Pilot: "On my way, sir"
Guys, the last one is in Czech airfield, I have found the original video. The comments of people on the ground are in czech language and also the vans in the shot have civilian czech license plates (of post 2001 type), but it can't be czech jet. We have sold our 29s to Poland in the '90. It's either Polish or Slovak.
The description to the video says it is in Pardubice airfield (Czech Republic) and the airplane is MIG29GT, Polish Air Force, reg: 4123
I believe that video is very old. I remember seeing it way back in like 2007 or so.
people nowadays rename every military video to ukraine just to get views
We use to do 50ft over the North Sea in F-111’s in the 80’s, Makes a huge rooster tail.
I can only imagine the rush! amazing
If I recall, that is below the advertised terrain following radar's capability...
@@everettputerbaugh3996 hahah, just by 150’….
Heyford or Mildenhall? I was at Heyford for 80-83, crew chief.
@@briangulley6027 Heyford 82-84, 79TFS Tigers!
I was buzzed on a boat one time. Left Port Everglades, headed for Miami. Saw traffic on shore, it was for the air and sea show. So I went about 2 miles out, pointed the bow at the shore, cut the engines, had a glass of wine, waiting to see the show. All of a sudden WOOOSH. Directly over top from behind and low, first jet headed to the show. I looked up and could even see details like exhaust petals. Awesome!
Exhaust petals?
@@behindthen0thing525 those little flaps that make the engine nozzle. they can move to make the nozzle wider or narrower. look at a video of an f16 takeoff from behind and youll see the nozzle close for mil power then open again for burner
@@behindthen0thing525 The sphincter.
@@mrspecs9211 ah yes theynl call them turkey feathers
@mrspecs9211 I'm not sure of the proper technical nomenclature but you're describing the articulated aft nozzle segments
I was working on the air weapons range in Cold Lake Alberta. I was in a small clearing working on a piece of equipment. I heard some noise, started looking up and around. Two CF18's went over me at tree top level. The tops of the trees were swaying. I couldn't help myself, I started screaming "YEAH!!!" Something about fighters going right over your head.
Had a few of those experiences in Cold Lake. Also heard the stories from some of the older pilots at the time talking about the Brits doing training in Goose Bay in the 80s.... Tornadoes doing full burner treetop ingress to the range. Every day.
COOL as fuck!!
My favourite low pass video is Ray Hanna in a Spitfire surprising Alan de Cadenet. The highlight of the video is almost the language after the pass...
The best part is that it isn't a surprise; Alan is Planning to stand still... TRYing to stand still, but cracks under pressure! It's hilarious, and I have plenty of sympathy for him, I would have done the same thing! LOL
@@harrymoto6951 Of course he knows the Spit is coming, he just isn't expecting it to be mowing the lawn
Loved my one flight in a VFA-125 Superhornet. Got to dog fight another F18, then flew it at 450 kts 200'AGL through the Panamint Valley. But now that I'm flying an Air Tractor in NW Kansas, this retired Navy Helo pilot gets to live in the real low level environment all over again. 10 feet off the corn tassels (which is 20' below the tree tops and powerlines that surround the fields) for 12 hours a day is plenty.
Don't crash.
There's a book written by a Kiwi ag pilot called Roger Crow wrote about spraying in Rhodesia in the 70s where he had to do it at night due to the heat. To get the height about right the gear was run across the top of the crop. Book is called Flying Low and is an excellent read IMO.
Stay safe out there *nuchbutter.* There's always the wire the farmer forgets to tell you about.
Quote from farmer after pilot hits wire that he wasn't brief about, _"Silly bugger last year did the same thing."_
here in Argentina we have a saying: "When you hear a jet engine, don't look up, because death flies close to the floor"
Probably because that’s the safest place from our Harriers and Sea Harriers.
The Argies are low flight gods. Even the VIP airliner has gone low
@@stephenhogg2472 and yet we kicked a lot of ass despite how little we had at hand. Talk to me when your nation manages to turn a C-130 into a bomber, or changes the way that combat pilots fly worldwide. Against all odds, we managed to do what was considered impossible at the time despite having inferior equipment, we crippled the unbeatable Royal Navy and gave the Royal Marines a run for their money, we even created a ground-based Exocet launcher that we purposely didn't destroy to show you with what you were shot with. Owen Grippa literally danced and weaved trough the bulk of the fleet with nothing more than an Aermacchi trainer, a soldier that i sadly can't remember the name as of now managed to shoot down a Harrier using a light machinegun, and Poltronieri defended his position singlehandedly against an entire batallion with nothing more than his MAG-V and some boxes of ammo. Even your own armed forces recognize us as badasses and brave madmen, with both of our armies talking respectfully about each other.
I would have liked to discuss the conflict peacefully, yet you decided to be hostile out of nowhere, but what else can be expected from a pirate that only knows how to steal and antagonize those who don't think the same? You come here to a normal comment about a famous phrase in my country for what, cause drama? Show your "superiority"? You truy are a simpleton.
Besides, you seem to be forgetting that it was a war between 2 corrupted govnerments, the Military Junta and Videla against Margaret Thatcher, it was, sadly, just another war. Yet make no mistake, pirate, because we will take them back, not with bullets but with words.
P.S: Harriers work best at low altitude, A4s work best at high altitude. Yet we had to go to ground level to avoid radar detection, despite knowing the risk that entailed flying to a bomb run with little more than enough fuel to just fly to the target, attack it, and RTB. Our pilots didn't have fuel to spare with more evasive maneouvers or dogfighting, and yet they pressed on with their duties.
Mover.: "Dude has permanent hearing damage now..." Gonky: "Worth it..." 🤠
I'm in central Louisiana, I was a teenager and England airbase (Alexandra, La.) Was operating the A10's. I was in the back pasture cutting grass with the tractor in my on little world when I hear a noise and instantly think somethings wrong with the cutter as this A10 comes from behind and VERY low right over my head! As soon as he passes he wags his wings...he knew exactly what he'd done. Even though I'd nearly jumped off the tractor I was smiling from ear to ear!
Those guys flew over our place a lot back then even using our field for downed pilot exercises, which included helicopters and fast movers for top cover. But that day I got buzzed was one of my favorites!
Turkish F 16 did something like this for the shooting of a series. This is a frame from the shooting of a TV series called "Hür".I think the one you see in the video is F 16 Block 50.
We don't have a deers in Ukraine walking everywhere like in US.
This is a common practice here. You can find a pre-war footage of millitary exercises of Su-27 with the road sign in its air intake. Happened while practicing highway landing.
Also another Su-27 during the war after a mission which included low flying brought some flowers in air intake to home base. They were ordered to fly below 150 feet to avoid detection, one of the pilots took it too serious.
If it was before the war, he could do it, because it was with his own money, but if he asked other people for money and he did something stupid, I don't know what he was thinking.
when you FOD when the engine ingests a mole
@@richardhockey8442 soviet era frontline combat aircrafts have grills in air intakes which are designed to prevent the engine from sucking in stones amd other debris takeoff/landing operations from unprepaired airfields. So they kind of tailored for such things by design.
Someone please give Mover another fighter pilot job flying an F-16. Dude is still in his prime chomping at the bit 👊
There are private companies that operate T-38/F-5 type aircraft, BD-5s and things as adversary and cruise missile simulations.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the low flights of Turkish F-16s were in places where you might come across Greek boats...
There was room for a Buccaneer under those !
OMG the two of you saying "you have to go left" suddenly makes so much sense for my frustration as being a ship driver on an aircraft carrier with a bunch of brown shoes trying to drive. When I left I told them all "right is right, left is wrong when in doubt STOP" which is what you do when driving hundreds of thousands of steel through the water. Also the whole "big sky little plane" theory doesn't work when you are in fog on a ship...

I am writing for those who wonder why the Turkish Air Force flies so low. They made this flight for the shooting of a new TV series called "Hür". The air force issue was criticized a lot only after the trailers were released, at least by those who are interested in the air force. And yes there are lots of top gun quotes.
"This is *not* a safety-positive environment." 😂
6:57 "It's totally cool, it's just dumb" 🤣
Ukrainian here) It was before full scale invasion) Like two years or so before (I saw this footage at first like 2018-2019). And I know it because it was in a news even in Ukraine at that time and some
investigation even)
Do they still do it now?
When i was a wildland firefighter we had a community day at the tanker base. A C-130 tanker did a low pass over the taxi way. From my angle it looked like i could have touched its belly if i was standing under it. In actuality it was probably 15 feet. They are not allowed under 100 feet. Our FMO (fire management officer, the guy who runs the fire program for the district) was standing right next to me. He mentioned something about being below the hard deck, but we all thought it was aeesome.
I had a very similar low pass experience only yesterday. Walked out to the kitchen, woosh! And a steep bank to the right. So low I couldn't believe it. Damned sparrow, birds are always getting inside.
Today I learned fighter pilots are literally Zoolander. They can only then left.
Everything about their personality makes so much more sense
I'm not an Ambi-turner, Magnum, its all there!
Used to be a wind turbine Tech...
One of my co workers was an ex squid.
Carrier cat guy. Yellow shirt i think that is? Guy is Bout 10 years younger than me (im 46)
Anyway, we are troubleshooting the last turbine in this string of 20 - GE 1.5 with short 55m towers.
And my partners phone starts ringing.
He puts on speaker and the guy on the other end is like "eh brah, where you stay?" And its LOUD... LOTTA backround noise.
And my parter just says "bottom one" and hangs up.
And thats when i hear the throb of a big turbine engine helicopter way off in the distance - and its getting closer.
Buddy says "get out on the roof, lets take a break" so i clip in and go out the roof hatch, and he follows.
And sure enough there is a Seahawk cruisin along few miles a way... and its heading right at us.
And my buddy says "One of my old shipmates is gonna say hi, make sure your helmet strap is buckled up"
The seahawk just floats up to our turbine, and hovers close enough that i could've reached out and touched the radome on the nose, it piviots a bit, and the guy in the cabin in back tosses my buddy a Krispy Kreme bag and throws him a shaka, and the chopper sidelips away, piviots and just heads off
I'm like WTF dude? And my buddy shows me the text message string from a couple hours prior between him and the Pilot it starts off with " Hey (name redacted) we are flying out to (location redacted) what you doing asshole?" And my buddy responding "stay working, bring me and my partner some donuts you fakha" and then a middle finger emoji from the pilot.
The USN brought us donuts...
wow!!!! you don't forget that one!
Back in 1941 while on a yacht we were buzzed by 2 Japanese zeros then were buzzed by 2 propellerless aircraft that looked gorgeous, we never figured out what they were but they did eliminate those two zeros though 😂
No you didn't.
@@kswas2784it’s true - they made a movie about it ;-)
The fact that the Ukrainians are at war and do this shit make it more badass for me
I got buzzed by a Globemaster while kayaking on a lake. They did some patterns over the lake then dove in over us. Freaked me out bc I thought they were doing an emergency landing
I once listened to a Globemaster crew from West Virginia talk about these, what those dives are for are to practice flying under the radar, but the crew said they do it over land, not water
The guy on the boat could have thrown his bottle of Heineken (or equivalent Turkish beer) in the F-16 massive air intake and that would have been one less F-16 😐
Reminds me of that scene in some dumb movie where the girl throws a rake at a BF109 and takes its engine out xd
One of the F-14 pilots that participated in the Final Countdown told a story about flying really close to the water and accidentally buzzing a fishing boat. He was checking papers for a week to make sure no fisherman turned up missing.
When I was in highschool getting my private pilot license, I used to buzz my girlfriends house in a Cessna with their garage door opener I secretly stole before I went flying and would open and close their garage door as I was flying over.....drove her dad nuts because it took him awhile to put 2 and 2 together that every time a plane zoomed over, the garage door would open or close.
the you will hit the boat in 5:01 WAS SO COLD
Better be some Buccaneer footage in here 😉
Needs a sticker on the underside: If you can read this, how's my flying?
wow, the 'rooster tail'/shock wave on the water, its distance behind the jet, gives an idea that he's not just "moseying along"!
In Benning, we had a CAS training day. And the two vipers dropped MK80 (? the 500lb'er) and the FAC asked "do you guys want a flyby?" When the vipers flew over (a few 100 feet above) I damn blew out my ears. I can't imagine how loud it was for that boat owner. Holy hell.
I was on a fishing trip out of Key West in 2001. We were about 60 miles out in complete darkness and something "Buzzed our boat". Scared the poo poo out of us.
Gonky’s got some neither confirming nor denying to do
Back in 1989, I was having lunch after working on a fence at the ranch. The ranch sits around 7,200 ft, in southwest Montana. Truck door open, left leg on the door window, listening to Paul Harvey. I was sitting on a small hill looking down on the ranch, with a narrow canyon behind me. A Montana Air Guard fighter came in behind me, clearing the truck by not a lot. He was low enough, it shook the hell out of the truck. I imagine that he was figuring that he had probably just scared the hell out of me, as he banked towards the Idaho border. I loved it, and still find it one of the coolest things ever.
Buccaneer driver: "Is that it? Hold my beer" Look up Redflag 77.....
Mover and Gonky ! If the 'best' possible outcome, from any particular action,
is that You do not die. Then 'it' is a bad idea. Most often these exhibitions
are preceded by "Hold My Beer and watch this". Darwin at work.
Once I was in Iskenderun, Turkey (Dynamic Mix 98) and the Turks loved scream very low over the camp site with their F-4s.. Man that was cool. except when I was in my hooch trying to grab some sleep after being on watch all night.
Like carrying a keg in college on to a sloped 2 story roof with some girls, it sounded like a great idea and we did have the time of our life RIGHT up until 2 of us fell off...... As are most of the "watch this!" moments.
Life truth coming from Gonky (applicable to most things I dig): “Oh it’s totally cool…it’s just dumb!”
"If a deer crosses the runway", that just fits perfectly, effin great :D
Funny that in case of F-16, our boys were appreciative but in case of Mig-29, they start lambasting.
Well, water is nearly flat within a few miles and you can see any object sticking out.
Over ground, there could be surprises.
the pod on the left is a LANTIRN NAVFLIR pod. it was used by block 40's which turkey operates, and the USAF no longer uses them since the CCIP upgrade iirc
It was before the CCIP upgrade that USAF stopped. I worked avionics on block 40s starting in 2002, and I've never seen a nav pod in person.
Personally, I absolutely love the low-level flybys. I'm always love hearing the old-timers from way back in the day talking about buzzing around like this in 2nd and 3rd gen fighters, or any airplane for that matter flying around low-level. So very cool.
There's also a video from years ago of a RAF Spitfire almost giving a reporter a haircut. Seriously. That's worth a watch.
That Spitfire video is the best. F ME!
Check out the French Air force Mirages low flying in Chad Africa, some cool stuff there
@@BrickNewton I've seen that video years ago and yes, it was really cool!
But what happens to the aerodynamics at the speed and altitude of a flyby.
I would think the FOD risk at that altitude with the engines sucking in at power is pretty high
Well the mig has the upper body intake flaps that basically all fail open. So in theory you could do it
All the cool stuff, be cool - _"Douglas, you've gone self-aware"_ killed me! 🤣 🙃 ah-geez... lol thanks for the vid y'all! Cheers-
Can you imagine the pucker factor of those on the boat?
What about that time that B-52s managed to sneak up to an air craft carrier by flying below the radar and the deck.
Take that I cannot confirm or deny as a a huge. Affirmative!. Of course it's on I need to know basis
When I was a small kid back in 1966 my dad took me and my brother out in one of the training areas in TyndaLL AFB. When two F-106 Delta Darts flew over our head just above tree top level. By the time we head it, it already flew over our head. I didn't see the first one. but the second one you could read all the warning decals painted on the side of the fuselage! It was that low.
There is a great video of a low pass in a Phantom here in Germany at the Richthofen Geschwader where I grew up.

Fighter pilots are a breed of their own.
I got a RAF Jaguar low pass in SA in my memory from back Dessert Shield era.
Was in Key West a couple weeks ago. We were on the boat ride out to Fort Jefferson and got buzzed by to F-18s. I absolutely loved it.
I meant two F-18s
2:58 I swear I saw writing on the belly of the Viper that read "If you can read this the pilot is to low."
They should check out a video of RF-4Cs doing low passes over a Nevada lake and 'rocks' from 1994 ;)
Our O-5 maintenance officer (Former Tomcat guy who flew CAP during Achilles Lauro) flew a sweet low pass within 50’ of our hangar at window level of the second floor and he flew directly over where I was standing. It was already gonna be his last flying job before his last tour and retirement. Skipper was cool about it and his only penance was to get up in front of the JO’s and tell us not to do what he did. Not that it was heeded. Part of our job was to run missile profiles at ships for training. We did the best we could to fly accurate profiles.
Mover gonky huge fan love your stuff watch everything keep it up and for my tanker friends “ can’t kick ass without tanker gas” and TOMCATS
North Ga , mid nineties …
I was mountain biking on top of black rock got buzzed by two vipers that couldn’t have been more than 100 feet above the trees. Assuming they were super sonic cause I saw them then felt it then heard them, I’ve never in my life had goose bumps and the hair on my arms stand up like that .
I knew what was coming once I saw them and it still scared the monkey part of my brain like nothing else has . It was Awesome
5:55 to make full screen replace "shorts" in the url with the letter "v" . You'll then have a normal video you can full screen
(Works as of the time I wrote this comment)
That Mikoyan almost hung parts on the damn runway. 😮
There is a confirmed story of yugoslav mig 21 pilot hiting the stop sign with the wing while forcing the car on the road to run into ditch. When police came there guy in car said there was a plane on the road and they gave him alchohol breath test. There are pics of stop sign and mig 21 wing somewhere.
Have you seen the A310 Tap portugal lowpass from about 2007?
Its potato quality but its also inches from ground... in a airliner...
Wow!! that video was nuts! nuts!!!
This was not Ukrainian, this was pilot from 23BLT Poland, MiG 29 Demo Pilot at the time. And this was a typical start for Air Show routine.
JUmping a jet ski from a lake into a pool is cool. Brought to you by Carls Jr.
Ukrainian pilots have gotten a ton of experience flying low because the second they get any sort of altitude they get targeted by half the SAM sites in the country. Like... they kinda need to fly low. Hell there's a video out there of a Ukrainian SU-25 whose flying at tree top level, the literal second he rises above it to get in position for his ground strikes his Radar starts screaming at him with multiple locks from completely different directions.
Flying low due to operational necessity is understandable. Risking an aircraft and pilot(both of which are in short supply) for no reason is dumb. Particularly when you want NATO countries to give you aircraft.
5:47 It is possible to get a short to go fullscreen, though it requires the "/shorts/" in the url to be replaced with "watch?v=" . This should display the video in a non-shorts player.
On my jet ski, in Chicago a B1 bomber "BONE" came out of a cloud and pulled straight up over me with all 4 GE turbofan engines in afterburner mode into another cloud. Gone. Can still feel the heat and the smell of jet fuel to this day.
I've called in many airstrikes and Kodak Runs. Never once have I seen a craft go lower than "Tree Top" or tower window height.
6:25 for them its a real war, like ww2. There will be mavericks etc and people to encourage, etc. 6:25
In the late 70's, the commander of the swedish airforce, argued to get more of the budget set aside for the military, by saying: Ships are 40 feet high and can at most do 40 knots, we fly at the same hight, ten times as fast.
Remember kids, you can only tie the low altitude record.
Best low pass on youtube is the Spitfire one
CRAZY! its like a car coming up the field at him!
Never mind a deer, he could ingest a couple of Rabbits and FOD the engine that low!
Look at the RAF Buccaneers video of British Pilots in an exercise simulating an attack in one of the Royal Navy Destroyer at low level and then flying low level over Gibraltar Runway…..My home Country…😀😀😀
Had to check the landing gear door in flight.
Funny how we were told a passenger airliner hit the pentagon just feet off the ground.
“Unprofessional”. You know it when you see it. The Turks have a different take based largely on their culture.
That yacht must've been his boss, or perhaps the boss is flying and it's his own boat. The video just reeks rigged, no way that's a random thing this was planned all the way through. 😆Low flying is a buzz but one can only fly so low... Swedish Air Force Viggen pilots had a habit of buzzing sail surfers and blow them into the water. Official min alt over water back then was 10 meters, not sure what it is now might be the same but the Gripens don't fly as much and they tend to fly a lot higher than the old attack drivers did.
Oh and by the way, that last one wasn't a low-altitude pass it was a no-altitude pass!
I was on a fishing trip out of San Diego back in the 90's coming back from San Clement island, resting on the bow. When all of a sudden that's pretty much what I saw.
The pod mounted on the left looks a lot like the AN/ASQ-213A HARM targeting pod for the AGM-88 A/G Missiles
If the runway lights look green....they are filtering through the grass and you are too low.
Maybe the pilot is the TmCruise of the Turkey AirForce. He’s their Maverick. You never know🙂
I’m thinking that the yacht was in on it, likely a patrol boat.
The problem with overhead buzzing a boat like that is that if the guy on the boat threw up a soda can you'd have a really bad case of FOD in the intake....
I had a job flying _Lawn Darts_ and one day I just had to beat up the DZ. Unconsciously picked a point to fly towards and when I saw jumpers bending down and running out of my flightpath I decided it was time to pull up. It was then that I realised to aiming point was a bloody motor home and I have no idea how I missed it. A stupid, *stupid, STUPID* thing to do. Impulse beat ups are unplanned and are really bad; man I was dumb and I think I emptied my _bag of luck_ that day.
Used to take the ferry between Towsnville and Magnetic Island in Australia and it was always getting "attacked" by the A4 Skyhawks based in Townsville. I guess they had the ferry timetable coz they came over the top of the ferry at 50' AMSL far too often for it to be a coincidence.
Mover, the height of a taxiway light is 6 to 9 inches. They are 6 inches high at the base of the light and 9 inches at the top. The more you know…
Have you seen the video of a P 51 Mustang over flying an F 16 as it's taxiing, and the Viper pilots reaction is awesome.
You should see the photo from a polish speeding camera clocking polish MiG 29 @ 400mph 10 feet above the highway.
161 Filo Bats run Sniper TGP on 5R and LANTIRN NVP on 5L for night ops.
5:50 Hit F11 and your browser will go fullscreen.
That’s one way to combat illegal fishing.
Was with B-52's in Moron Spain 25 years ago or so. They had f-5's, probably still do, that would buzz us, to where I could still see the top of the control tower over their airplane as they flew by between the tower and where I was standing on the apron.
It's annoying but the way I watch UA-cam shorts fullscreen is I edit the URL by swapping the word 'shorts' with 'watch'.
The jet was definitely screaming at him to pull up
