Another 12-1500 feet of altitude and it might have been the most impressive buzzing of the field ever recorded.
Maybe in a Cessna 150 but more like 5,000’ in a 747
“but more like 5,000 in a 747”
Maybe, but the plane has rolled wings level and nose is only about 25-30 degrees down. He had obviously regained some aerodynamic control, but at that point gravity was still exceeding lift. My only point was I think the aircraft was entirely flyable, give sufficient altitude to recover.
