That’s what happens when you stand at the end of a runway.

I knew of some Air National Guard pilots that would try to flip picnic tables.

That little multiple-wobble when he is a couple of hundred yards out is really scary.

“Like a scene out of Top Gun,...”

Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

You can see the LSO (orange shirt) trying to wave this guy off! LOL!

Almost as much fun as fence-surfing at ST. Maarten, which I've done twice. An experience you will NEVER forget!

Dangerous? It’s a jet fighter not a kite.

While a very young girl we lived very near the Van Nuys CA airport in the early 50’s. Actually somewhat at the end of the runway. As the saber jets were taking off we could see and wave to the pilots...and they would wave back to us neighborhood kids. Very cool.

Those weren’t spectators at an air show... They were just some folks camped out on a road close to the approach of a runway. Looked like a fairly normal landing for the F-16. Looks like they were there specifically because it was fun to have the planes drop in right overhead.
