No. 3 is just ridiculous

There are plenty of cool videos like that on youtube (and lots of bullshit computer game videos that are dishonestly labeled). One of my favorites is the landing approach on (I think) some Caribbean island. There's the ocean, about 50 feet of beach, a two-lane road, and then the runway, and these big-ass jets come through. Too bad I didn't bookmark it.

One bookmark I do have is this animation, with tower communication, of the Miracle on the Hudson. Its pretty damn cool.

All I could think of at some of the fly-byes was Catch-22.

Matthew, in that #3 low pass you mentioned, I thought the guy standing was going to lose his head for sure. Yikes. That took guts (or stupidity) to just stand there like that.

[Dave James]

I have my doubts about #3. If that was real, the guy would've been knocked on his ass by the jet wash.

[BruceH]

Yeah, you'd think so.

Crazy!! We attend the airshow at Oceana NAS in Virginia Beach every year.
