Default How close can you go?
Methinks some photoshopping, or judicious use of focal length

Now that's what I call a fly-past: US Navy F18 streaks past apartment block | Mail Online

The Blue Angels pic is taken at San Francisco's Navy Week, normally early October.

If anyone gets the chance to see it, you'll be blown away.

Isn't that pic of the bucc a bit of a cheat...........I thought it was possible to pull up the landing gear while rolling but it wouldn't retract until the weight went off the oleo's.. the door to the front U/C seems to be closing

Nice pics!

But I would have thought that the thread title might be something like:

"How LOW can you go?"

Just seen a large 4-jet fly overhead v low here with a big "thing" sticking out the side of it.

Think it was a Kc-135 but no idea what the "thing" was!

The trick is that having retracted the u/c you allow the aircraft to drop down a little bit!
