SPITFIRE! I want to do this someday

Game to fly the thing that low or game to be the reporter with your back to the low pass?

Had it just finished a takeoff roll and was going to be low for the footage anyway?

To fly it? Young me certainly would have been. As for the reporter, I don't think he expected quite that low. My guess is that they'd done the shot a couple of times to get the timing, and the aircraft was lowest on that run.

Flying very low isn't necessarily as dangerous as you might imagine, though it is something you need to practice, and work down to.

Doubt it. He'd never have had that speed.
 
And the French version....

Balls of steel. The guy never even moved… even though he was a foot or two from being decapitated by an F1.
