Remember Maverick's "time to buzz the tower" in Top Gun? It has become an iconic scene in both cinema and popular culture history. The insanely loud noise and drama of the event caused an adrenaline rush for both the pilots and people standing nearby at the time, with the added bonus of pissing off some senior officers in the process. That was all fake though. Check out these real life flybys, some of which put Maverick to shame...
The chap in the video says he is not going to flinch......
Insanely low!
Not as quick as an F-16 but a seriously close flyby nonetheless.
Pretty close eh?
The guy standing on the runway has nerves of steel. Enough said.
Keep your eye on the third plane to flyby!
Loud and low.....
This F-18 Hornet gets so close to the water it gets sprayed upwards towards the aircraft.
