Top 10 Fly Bys

It would definitely be cool to see low passes like those, in person. I got to see some interesting stuff when I worked at the Toronto airport, but nothing quite like those. The best two that I saw were a F-18 doing a full-length pass of the main runway in level flight but with its nose point up at a 30 degree angle, and a Harrier that was hovering just below the sight level of control personnel while the pilot was carrying on a conversation with them. They got a bit of a shock when he just rose right up into view, maybe 100 metres from the tower
