Fly by?

More like a landing approach... but yeah, a little low.

I used to go out on the runways and lay down and let the jets land over me, before things got real tight security wise. It's a rush.

Surplus of balls or a surfeit of brains. I can't tell which. Funny how that tends to be the case.

There are old pilots and there are foolish pilots, but no old and foolish pilots.

Meh. These landings are routine. Only thrilling for the spectators, not the pilots.

Yeah I didn't realize the landing gear when I wrote the title.

That approach was low, even for a landing. Not to swift, in my book.

In my misspent youth I also did this. There came a point when while you were reeling from the wing wash and engine blast, mechanics and baggage handlers would zoom in and beat your a$$. Being thrown bodily over an eight foot fence wasn't so bad, but not making it completely over a fence sucked immensely.

With the eventual addition of barbed wire, the fun/hassle ratio was no longer worth it. Oh yes...... Good times!
