Now that's a flyby

The wonders of Telephoto lenses.

A USN F-18 doing a highspeed low-level flyby on the Detroit River during the American Power Boat Association Gold Cup Races Sunday. Even more impressive when larger

That guy on the balcony looks like he is grabbing the back of his pants...because he just shit himself.

Serious question; haven't windows been blown-out due to ultra-close fly-bys?

It probably was not that close, but the f-stop the photographer used to shoot the shot makes it look closer than it actually was (makes images in the background appear bigger).

The fly by at the Indy on Sunday looked like it got pretty close to the CN tower before they peeled off towards the lake, but again it's more a perspective thing than actually being close.

The fly by at Indy was spectacular, not sure how close it was to CN Tower but it was fairly low and close to the track...unbelieveable
