[DeTomaso] Top 10 Low Pass Flyby's!!!

[Mike Thomas]

I don't think the F-18 in the last fly by actually punched through, although
he was on the edge.  We had a pilot do the very same at the Freedom Fair air
show on the Tacoma waterfront a couple of years ago.  My boss, a retired
Marine Col. and former F-18 driver, said it's possible to push the sound
envelope like that without afterburners with a clean aircraft that's light
on fuel and no payload, and not actually break the barrier.

Every Pantera owner will love this and of course dream that they are the
pilot. TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS AND SIT BACK. 

Pay particular attention to #1...(last one shown in the video). Supposedly
it happened during a Blue angels event  in San Francisco several years
ago...it was the pilots last show with the team and he had nothing to lose. 
Many boats in the bay lost windows to the sonic blast.
