Speaking of fly by's....
A buddy sent me this
 This is the ultimate Drag Race, but it is between a 1000 HP Bugatti Veyron and a Jet Fighter. This is very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The two will start side by side from a standstill, The car will go 1 mile, slow down enough to turn around on a full width runway, then come back the 1 mile. The fighter will take off as quickly as possible, go straight up 1 mile, turn around and come back down to about 100' off the deck to fly parallel to the car to attempt to cross the Finish Line first. Who will win  ? http://www.snotr.com/video/568

Re: Speaking of fly by's....
If the jet had to travel one mile (5,280 feet up + 5,280 down) in vertical flight then you have to add his takeoff distance (about 2,500 feet) plus his distance back to the start/finish line (same 2,500 feet). He therefore covered more distance than the car and still won. In total, the car covered two miles (out and back) and the jet covered about three miles adding his takeoff distance and return distance to the two vertical miles (out and back + up and down).
Hey, it's the Internet, someone has to nit-pick this.

Re: Speaking of fly by's....
At least he kept it sub-sonic. If he'd lit the burners on the return level flight, it would have been no contest at all.
 Hat's off to the RAF for allowing this nonsense at all.

[/ QUOTE ] I wonder if the Bugatti guys are pissed? Probably not. They know that car is bad-ass. Yeah, the Brits are much more laid-back than we are! You'd never see a stunt like this performed at a U.S. airbase--with command approval that is.

Re: Speaking of fly by's....
C130 lands on USS Forestal Not a stunt. I ran many a plane watch behind carriers but never saw anything this size land in 500'.
