I wish i could find the youtube post of a ww2 RAF pilot talking about him and a few sqaud mates flying so low on a street in a town that a german solider poped out and had his head removed ... Back at the base word got out of what happend before he got there and no one believed it ..till the plane landed and they seen the wing tip dented and bloody

In the Canadian armed forces and CAA if you get caught flying under the 1,000ft / 500ft rule you will be grounded and a board of inquiry on your actions will be takin. Found guilty you could lose your job and have that black mark when applying for another.

hehehe dude that's Argentina, they use jets to herd cattle ;0)

R u a CAF pilot then? Got a good friend of mine in the Snowbirds :-)

Blimey, that was low wasn't it.

Did this guy have an apple on his head?

My favorite low pass has to be

The Way to Avoid that is to say you are doing a practice forced landing.. that way you can get away with it! My dad and I do it all the time flying past all of the bomber bases in east anglia!

Hate to be a spoil sport but if you try for the limit of the envelope you will find it. Sooner or later!
The pilot of this B-52 had several complains from his colleges and some even refused to fly with him.
As it turned out they were right and he was wrong. And eventually very dead as that is the result when you pass the border of the envelope!

Although Norwegian fighter pilots practice low level all the time, they will get grounded if they pull something like that. They have enough complaints from the local farmers already.

That B-52.... What happened except for the overbank?

Wiki says:
The investigation found that as the B-52 entered its final turn sequence around the tower, its indicated airspeed (IAS) was 182 knots (337 km/h, 209 mph). Although Holland applied additional engine power after starting the turn, his input came too late to maintain the aircraft's airspeed, because its turbine engines take up to 8 seconds to respond to throttle movements. Even though the airspeed indicator was available to all four aircrew members, the aircraft's airspeed was allowed to continue to decrease. Eight seconds before impact, the aircraft's IAS had deteriorated to 145 knots (269 km/h, 167 mph) and the aircraft's bank increased past 60°. At this time Holland or McGeehan applied full right spoiler, right rudder, and nose-up elevator, and the aircraft entered a turning flight stall (sometimes called accelerated stall). This phenomenon is a stall that occurs at a higher airspeed than the design stall speed – which always refers to straight and level flight – because the aircraft is turning. Due to the bank of 60° or more, the stall speed for the aircraft was at that moment 147 knots (272 km/h, 169 mph). Thus, flying at 145 knots (269 km/h, 167 mph) IAS the aircraft stalled without sufficient altitude to recover before striking the ground.

Yeah,the accelerated stall was a consequence of their late inputs to correct the manoeuvre: the B-52 is a big bird with a lot of inertial response(throttle lag,sluggish control),which comes more evident at slower speeds. He was probably trying to do a "sling turn",where he would gain momentum from the turn dive,but he was too low/slow, and correcting that on a B-52 was impossible.. the crew probably had the time to realise what's goi g on and tell him "you killed us,r u happy now, asshole?!"..

Ok, so pilot screwup then. I was just curious if there was some mechanical failure or something. What's one of the first golden rules again? "Know your aircraft"....?
