Whoosh! Dangerously close jet fighter barely misses a crazy dude

This item was filled under [ Technology ]

What does it feel like to have a fighter jet fly just a few feet above your head? Only this brave soul and his cameraman know for sure. We especially like the way the guy seems unfazed by a jet fighter zipping along in excess of 600 miles an hour, flying low enough to almost hit him.

By the way, the video’s title specifies an “F18 Hornet” (known in the real world as an F/A-18 Hornet), which this aircraft is not. The Hornet has two vertical stabilizers — this jet clearly has just one. Nor is this an F-16, like the upgraded Thunderbirds we saw earlier this summer. This is more likely a Harrier Jump Jet.
