Check out the Blue Angels sneak run, 700+ mph and only 25 feet off the deck!

Nice pics Dano...thanks for sharing.  You are quite the photobugger!!

       That was absolutely AWESOME, FANTASTIC SHOTS! Always enjoy Air Shows. Those shots were INCREDIBLE!
The shots of the high speed passes and the ones with the planes just above the water were OUTSTANDING! Thanks so much for posting!

                                         Take care, Bill

Thanks for those. You've got to love airshows!

And I thought that the 'wake' caused by a low flying jet was just a special effect they put into films to make the scene more interesting. Duh

Wow great shots and video (which just puts a smile on your face with that music - anyone know who it is?)

Can someone explain to me how a camera can take such great shots side-on when a jet is flying at 700mph? Im way behind on camera technology!

cheers

I recognise a Mirage and a Jaguar in the 'over water' one (great planes, still flying after over 30 years..... the sohc4 of the military aviation world?) but what is the one in the 'over ground' film..?

[Buber]

Sooo, music is Nirvana, and Offspring "kids' aren't allright" - BTW it's great through mp3 in the helmet while riding...
And plane? Should be a MIrage, but the tail section doesn't really match...

And for a good measure..

P.S. Ahhh, I got it - Mirage F-1. that's the one!

What the heck - choppers can do it too!

Holy c&@p!! You know a plane is low when you have to look down from where you are standing to see it! And banking that close to terra firma....those pilots have big cojones!
