Brown pants

[Keith Lane]

Sometimes I wonder "If I was an airshow pilot, wouldn't it best is I wore dark brown pants" for just such a maneuver such as this.......

It's in the YAK POH, they clean the bellies of a lot of Commie planes that way to reduce soap costs.

Howly matilda, batman! That were a bit ... close.

Wonder how many antennas need to be replaced. It looks like he did not even notice how close he was.

The announcer went quiet there for a second. WOW!

 

[JRitt]

I'd hate to be the one who cleaned out that plane when he was done

Made me cringe just watching, how did he keep from curling the prop?

Dunno, but there's an ant running around on that runway whose antennae are about half as long as they used to be!

I *think* the prop missed, but the belly scraped. if the belly didnt scrape then it was really close. couldnt see any sparks thrown or anything. come to think of it, if it did scrape the pilot surely wouldve know and i doubt he would of done a roll right afterwards.
