Fantastic video, I am surprised how close those wingtips got to the ground.

Crazy flyby. Every time I see big transport aircraft flying like that I think of this B-52 crash.

Didn't a Cathay pilot get sacked for a similar incident which was not authorized?
That flyby could almost be classed as dangerous.

Yeah during the delivery flight of 77W B-KPE. CX's chairman was sitting in the cockpit at the time of the flyby.
News report of the flyby surfaced 2-3 weeks after the flyby and the captain was subsequently sacked.

Great stuff Mike. Make it in Sydney and we'll even take up a collection to bail you out once you land:D:D

That was awesome well maybe crazy. That wing tip was very close.
I thought the RNZAF 757 fly by at the Avalon airshow was good(it was). This one went the extra step.

Mike... will be there next to Browneye to capture the event so that you have a recollection of your last day of freedom. Will go halves in the photo sales with you. Might help pay towards your bond.
Can anyone spell GAOL! :D
