Low and.......FAST??

Kinda the opposite of what we like to do, but it still looks like fun!

Recent NTSB accident report: Piper Malibu made a high speed low approach last March to Monroe, MI, airport, gear up, apparently misjudged his height above the runway, clipped the prop. 3 died. Fun up to a point, I guess.

Best quote I've heard regarding low flying -


"You can only tie the record for the lowest pass!"
