I've seen low passes, but this one takes the taco

Libyan MiG-23ML. In fact, this is one of two of the aircraft that the Free Libya Air Force still had in service as of this Spring.

Here are two stills of the money shot...

Seeing the one guy duck highlights just how low this thing is flying!

Thank you for your time!

How many takes did it need before someone learned to duck?

@WhatIsThatAircraft which one is this?

I wonder how much closer you have to be to pick up the person and suck them into the engine.

probably coul've gotten away without ducking.

still getting hit by the wave of air would sent him in the dirt either way.

Or maybe sucked him into the jet

Probably, but with that stability fin poking down, I wouldn't want to take my chances.

in that line of thinking: What the fuck was he doing on the runway in the first place?

Very good question. Wish I had an answer.
