Recorded today at work.
I am good friends with the pilot. He told me our base was approved for high-speed passes. He arrived early, so I didn't have a chance to get up on a large stand to record it. Cool, anyway. :good2:
When he parked, I talked to him and he asked how it looked. I told him he could have pushed it a little faster. Ha, ha.
We have also been discussing options for attaching my GoPro camera onto the jet... safely.

Wish my day at the office looked like yours.Great video but its hard to get an idea of just how big that bird is from the ground when its in flight. Keep those videos coming! A guy like you into kids, bikes and planes is alright in my book! Dave
Very nice!
How high was that?
In my Herc days it was 200/200 -- had to be over 200 knots and less than 200 feet! :diablo:
Very cool vid, Mark! He looked like he scrubbed off (quite) a bit of altitude when he banked it over!

He said he was 500 feet. Our Wing Commander was on board with him, so I'm sure he didn't deviate. I think our limit is 300 feet altitude. Not sure of the speed limit.
Very Cool.

That's awesome! It's a great jet to maintain. 96% reliability is very good.
