juniper Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Crazy stuff! i live in the St Croix valley< there is an expansive bridge that crosses the WI MN borders over the St. Croix river,, that carries trains , its a very old bridge i think it was around 1910 to 11 when built. It starts about 100 yards from my house. I have seen propeller planes do it about 9 times but never a jet......What a nut!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 that's crazy. We get to see A-10's at minimum alt... not touching the ground. You can see the pilot. .... never anything like flying under a bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixspeed Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah I wanna know too ^^ If it was a business jet that would be totally insane. Military I could totally see that, especially in something agile like a Hornet, F16 or Raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How so? Blue Angels and other Hot Shots regularly do almost touch and go's as a matter of training. Not to mention Hot Shots Part Deaux! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 ,the bridge is 184 feet from the water line --the jet plane has to be about 80 feet from the water -.it's a world record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I forgot the universal expertise of some of our members. My condo is 200 feet high, and I think I can judge half that or lower over a runway that I am 100 yards or less from. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
