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

Low speed, high angle of attack.

Thanks, that's almost exactly what I saw. The only difference was the pilot at the Toronto airport really lit the candle when he hit the end of the runway.

Back when the Hooligans were in Fargo, I saw high speed touch and goes all the time. Come in hot, just tap the rear wheels, then full afterburner out of there!

#3 and #1 were the most impressive to me. Sweet vid - good pic of song, too.
