KC-135 Crazy Low Level Flyby

[Rafale28]

This dangerous flight was done with my taxes. And a bit of loan.

Give back this money NOW, and fly safely.

[Boutdumonde1]

low pass in french style!!! French pilots have used to do this... Look the other vids with helies or jet fighters...

[grantsypantsy100]

hahaha that was ffake

[Sevoverkill]

@grantsypantsy100 hows that fake? you're an idiot

[christianlovesjoshy]

This pilot is so bad ass..

[Sasquatch279]

haha always the crazy french! great flying!

[TiBossII]

N U T Z...

Balls of S T E E L...

[ustiansniper]

i wonder what happen when the probe got stuck in a rock

[Marc2b4]

Crazy.

[godddx23]

i luv the pilot~

[emilracerbil]

SKILLLZZZZ

[gangstahero1770]

The pilot who will fly the last enicial flight of the kc-135. Their' grandparents have not been born yet. O_o

[billblue58]

Sock Lae Blue!

[flybob63]

Great flying!!!!

[lummox1212]

FCUK YES!!! thats awesome

[D30N1X]

Yes, we are all crazy in France ^^

[CPfromGermany]

Well....I think, at this altitude there is a much higher risk for "pedestrian strike" then for a "bird strike".....!

[Xigano1]

Frying chickens in the barnyard :)

[RyeOnHam]

Real. The engines on the "R" Model 135 are quiet: No afterburner, high bypass ratio. Good video. Thanks.

[townclose]

How can this be fake ?!?!...even the best CG doesn't look this good. The French send crews down to Chad to do some hardcore low-flying. Practically no population in the desert and time to get down low and dirty. C'mon people just look at this video, it's obviously real and there are some great French Pilots.

[GTAmyths94]

Fake. Too low Sound for a plane wich have to climb very fast after the low Pass

[spongebobsucks34]

@sideim your evidence is amazing.

[323tiim]

@sideim fuck you, its not fake

[TeenFlyer95]

the jet engines probably sucked up alot of dirt

[cmk61991]

PERFECT way to lose your job. as they say, good decisions never make good stories

[1bearcatf8f]

badass HAHAHAHAHA not even.Thats stuipid a low pass with a tanker really

[khjuiproductions]

If you pause at 0:04, you can see that he Plane is actually a 3D model

[braorius]

@khjuiproductions It's because of the quality of the video, this plane is as real as you and me, one of my teacher even used this video to illustrate a lesson

[khjuiproductions]

@braorius

And thats the mistake that was made.

Because of the videos quality, you can easily see that it is fake,

also watch Captain Disillusion review

[braorius]

@khjuiproductions Thanks, I didn't knew about this video and I've lmao ^^. This video shows a kid that doesn't know anything about planes... All his arguments can easily be wiped. He reminds me of those people who pretends NASA never went to the moon using bad pictures and conspiration theories. On the one hand I've this kid poor demonstration, on the other hand I've my teacher, old officer in the air army, ritired commercial pilot and nowadays air liner instructor. Guess which one I'll trust?

[khjuiproductions]

@braorius

We are all entitled to our own opinions, don't flatter yourself, I didn't ever ask approval of you.

This video is clearly fake and you'd have to be pretty stupid not to notice.

[khjuiproductions]

@braorius

But since you seem to be taking an interest...

The Plane would have made a MUCH louder sound,

the bushes below the plane don't seem to be affected much by the high powered engines which realistically would blow backwards,

the lighting on the plane at 0:03 is ALL WRONG and finally,

the shadow on the ground is directly underneath the plane, and is darker than anything else.

(Its amazing how stupid are these days)

[braorius]

@khjuiproductions Ok so my instructor who was based in Tchad (where the video was shot) and know the crew of this plane is a liar right ? And about the Captain Desillusion vid, did you watch it till the end? It says that you can't tell if it's fake or not because of the quality.

1st the sound: The KC flies fast enough to have his engines set to iddle and reduce dust ingestion.

2nd the shadows: this video was shot in Tchad, near the equateur were the sun is much higher in the sky.

[braorius]

@braorius And before you tell me about sand and dust the ground of this area is made of "laterite" which is more like little stones, it's so dry and hard that in some africa countries the even land liners on this.... stones doesn't fly that easily even in your poor mind right? This vid was shot about ten years ago with an old and,compared to nowadays, bad camcorder, hardly turned to numeric, compressed and put on internet so of course there are many things bad but THIS IS REAL

[dtmresav974]

omg y a un sacré paquet de couilles dans cette avion... MAGNIFIQUE

[w67]

@dtmresav974

lol

[jobanius]

FTW

[dufonrafal]

The name of French KC-135 is C-135FR.

[bmwnasher]

thats awesome low low low .keeps the moral up for the boys..great vid

[Waddeck43]

is it just me or does that plane looks very tiny

[TwoEyeCyclops]

@Waddeck43 Well, it IS French..

[Waddeck43]

@TwoEyeCyclops owh yeah that's it, xD

[chicagolandfan]

Oh now that is just beyond awesome. Can we get something like this for every aircraft??????

[KartKing4ever]

whahhhhhhhh wooooooo hooo hooooo lol

[megahalo3master]

cool!! :)

[91Snyder]

NOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGG­GGHHHHH lol

[pjm189171]

i watched this video literally 5 times so i could hear the sound the guy makes line up with your comment hahaha

[myssinglynx]

Note the CFM-56 engines. These are quiet engines, hence why it doesn't sound so loud as it passes by. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a MPRS aircraft. Nothing but prod brake panel fuel leaks come from that thing.

Awesome video and 100% believable. N.K.A.W.T.G !!

[aell0111]

wats with the french flying low in africa?

[BerendBroekhoff]

there no place in france where you can fly low, and maybe they got a base there

[jetaddicted]

@BerendBroekhoff we have 5 bases in africa,gabon,central africa,ivory coast,djibouti and tchad.

we also keep 600 guys in senegal and another few in mali

most french soldiers have spent time in africa. one of the cool sides of being one.

[omarfaw]

its nationalé sporté ;D

[ChocoTanker]

If you don't believe me watch other vids of Mirage in Chad, there's few sand clouds because turbulance are thiner than you can think. When C135 light on, engineers are near the left reactor and there is no wind.

And like somebody said you can see on this video heat distortion and light sand clouds behind tanker.

So don't think it's fake just because it's incredible, like said our squadron leader what did this pilot was a bad thing but if he must go in war mission, he'll want go with this pilot

[ChocoTanker]

Excuse my english but that's start to bore me. These video would never be on youtube, soldier who did that was stupid. But things are what they are and the pilot got many trouble for this low pass. So let to him his performance and respect it. That's why I'm writing about it.

I was in Chad on C-135, the pilot was one of my job friend, so I swear it was a real flight.

[longsweep1]

That sucks dude.What was the consequence for your colleague? Did you hear anything from him?

[ChocoTanker]

There was no many consequence because he retired from army just few months after this mission. Now he fly in a civilian company, but I didn't hear anything from him for several months.

[TheGreenCheekConure]

People are so dumb now a days. The video is real idiots. The plane casts a shadow on the ground and the guy screaming would not scream like that if it was a cow walking by. Give me a fucking break.

[sketchmeister]

Ahhh, but it was not a cow walking by...

[JohnDicci]

come on its real you cant see that?

[murfleblurg]

It doesn't look right. The lighting and the resolution of the plane doesn't fit. The plane seems more sharply lit and crisply defined, and it is oddly quiet and fuss free for something quite large and very fast so close by. And the frame rate does something odd. But it's awfully well done - the panning of the background and the plane fit perfectly. But it doesn't look natural.

[ChocoTanker]

Perhaps it doesn't look natural just because you NEVER see a liner fly at 30 feets under desert !! Think about it, you and the other speak about something they don't know and never seen ! That's tired me !!

[gigagdragoon2345]

:06  "fly away nigga" lol

[omarfaw]

hahahhahahhahahahahhahhah

[gigagdragoon2345]

lol

[ricocheung]

Fake mf

[joodmcg]

that's definetly real follow the shadow of the plane and you will see it's not fake.

[hcsgtrplayer1]

I think it's real. It wouldn't necessarily stir up dust if the ground was dry and hard.

[nebraskaomaha07]

Its real

[rocketman234]

hmm i can't say this looks overall real- the plane has a CG quality to it, and at that altitude (if you can call feet an altitude) it would likely have stirred up quite the wake of dust, which isn't seen in this video. then again, i've never seen a jet do a low pass like that before, so it easily could be a real vid. anyone else think it just looks off?

[mariusrodrigo]

No, it's real. French air force in Djibouti.

[brett6344]

ok its defintly fake look how small the p;ane is compared to those trucks at 0:04 seconds it is completly fake

[racingrec]

As a ramp agent who serviced aircraft using pick up trucks. We serviced planes bigger then this that our truck wouldnt fit under the wings. A KC-135 Aircraft is based on the Boeing 707 airframe. Some of those planes have been serving their respective airforces for well over 40 years.

[brett6344]

ok i never said a plane that size couldnt do that ive seen 747s do that its a cgi computer animated image there was absolutley no dust from the back wash

[racingrec]

So your saying every low pass stirs up dirt? Ever been to an airshow? Their you have aircraft just barely subsonic under 30 Ft AGL at full burner not kicking up dust.

[syntaxerror9]

French air force!

[4TaktRollerNeinDanke]

the reaction of the camera guy is great! :D wooooaaaaaa wuuuuuhu! :D this pilot has balls! 5/5

[phonix032]

hehe i asked for them to refuel my car but i never thought they send a tanker jet :O

[LowStuff]

lulz

[mikemike499499]

me too,  thats amazing

[sebi140693]

einfach nur geil !!

[MLJBvideoproductions]

talk about being low jese

[scrufferdog]

talk about being stupid jese. This clown is a wreck waiting to happen. Revoke his

certificate.

[brett6344]

its fake

[voderick]

.....we are not alone on this earth.

We also have birds on this planet.

-F.O.D-

Hudson river Airbus accident is a good example what could happen.

This type of flying should render in a rewoked Pilot licence. I assume that the Pilot not will pay for damage that could render in this type of flying :(

Tax payers money......

[RobertGary1]

Only the French taxpayers.

[jers59]

Who gives a fuck about birds one of those canadian geese land on my lawn and i will club it to death

[MistyMountainHop38]

i'll bet you will....your all talk buddy..actually your probably some 10 year old kid trying to look cool but you really just sound like an ass

[jers59]

eat shit jerk off

[MistyMountainHop38]

at least i can jerk off

[jers59]

yeah to photos of sheep

[MistyMountainHop38]

hahah good one buddy i never would have thought of that one...dumbasssss.... who the hell says photos its pictures asswipe

[jers59]

its photos as in your photo album of farm animals

[MistyMountainHop38]

dude you sound like such an asshole so if i was you i'd just shut the fuck up and stopping looking like such tit...farm animals??? wtf thats not even funny in the slightest you immature bitch

[jers59]

look in mirror if you want to see asshole

[MistyMountainHop38]

kill

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

rofl what a dick

[Wolfbandgeek9]

WTF'S UP WITH HIS LAUGH NEAR THE END?

[0611930024838]

thats LOW

[Tuuza123]

Ofcourse its LOW because its takeoff

[hawaiiboysz]

Who takes off with the gear up?

[Tuuza123]

Heavy planes. Slow to get some height

[hawaiiboysz]

I work on them and never seen the gear up at that altitude.

[migkiller001]

It is obviously planned tuuza123

[24HALL]

@hawaiiboysz lol

[TheChrisju]

@hawaiiboysz not a take off

[simasuma]

that was NO TAKEOFF. just a badass low pass!

[wyomingrailfan]

if you look closely behind the plane you see the dust cloud. Its not fake.

[Alcochaser]

Thats a LOT of jet fuel CLOSE to the ground LOL

[ShadyTipper112]

look at Captain Disillusion's video on this.

[schamrok33]

french soldiers voices ..i think it take place in tchad ( french cocarde on the plane ) Enjoy !

[Morr1992]

is it fake or not? Got confused lol

[ILoveMyTail]

it's as real as it gets, so stop whining. by my calculations it's about 13-15 meters above the ground. nice flying, captain ;)

[jetmech2QC]

We used to see this at Red Flag. Tankers didn't usually do flybys of the SAM sites, but I do remember even 135a's giving it a go from time to time. In fact, I'm not so sure that's not an American tanker in the Nevada desert. The French would have been lower. :)

[wyomingrailfan]

*coff* the french are crazy at doing that low-level stuff.*coff*

[pelagic6]

lol true

[wyomingrailfan]

yeah

[AOxley17]

No Way Fake, Good Though =]

[alloholic]

"Crazydrunkendriver"

your comments fit to your name..

[backburner123]

lol

[Redy80]

these french pilots are crazy... :-)

[lelekoJumboJet]

wow this one was LOW!

[Hawk4570]

Objective opinion: I've seen quite a bit of CGI video. Also seen(and heard) a LOT of low flying aircraft of all shapes and sizes. Looks real to me. If it's a fake, it's impressively realistic. As far as sound goes, this appears to be later-model or upgraded aircraft with CFM 56 engines. Earlier J57s from Pratt were fairly thunderous, particularly on a hot day with water/meth. GE turbofans here are much quieter.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[piko55555]

i agree those did sound like cfm 56s

[jetmech2QC]

Derated CFM56's to be exact and probably not far from flight idle.

[benjaminbaldwin1984]

Fake or real whatever its still a cool vid.

If its fake well done, love how they did the shadow in the movie and the plane behind the branches. Had me believing.

If its real well done to the pilots, balls of steel.

[ivanisfad]

OMG

[avzansbach]

its real no fake....

[Raxilla]

Actually he doesn't. He provides evidence to show how it could have been concocted, but at the end suggests the results are inconclusive.

[Kendallkip]

ummmm....Does ANYONE notice that the plane makes practically NO sound for a FOUR engine plane flying THAT close?

[Me00irule]

does ANYONE notice that NONE of the plants move in the planes wake?

[jetmech2QC]

Do you realize just how many planes fly through that exact corridor at that altitude? If that scrub could be blown away, it would have been gone already.

[Hisdaef]

Oops the vid is Low passing plane Debunk

[Sub4SubFreind4Freind]

Its not computer animated you cant say its completely fake cause it has no other angles but yet you see other people filming. This is possibly another plane in the picture not the kc-135 It could be a smaller plane doing the stunt and the plane could be superimposed to look like the kc-135

[verbioo]

watch low passing plane debunk,its quiet and planes are loud,the shadow keeps changing,this is a fake

[1highplains]

thats real for sure!!! pause and start it over and over and you can see its real also directly over their vehicles, i used to live in the mojave desert and ive seen this kind of thing so many times its nuts! also experimental aircraft too!!

[Dosagu]

there are 2 other guys filming but you cant find thery videos nowahre on the internet, plus the play like that (army refulling) is alot lowder specially at that speed, altitute, and with 4 engines (you can her the people voices) conclusion Fake.

[slashmorello911]

that fake. the plane would be much louder and the shadow changes alot

[theUP844]

that was not fake. I saw that same thing happen here a long time ago.

[ramsteinfun]

christ there are some idiots commenting here, fake this fake that, grow up! its patently NOT fake.

[digofabu]

you is blind ?

[originallimo818]

fake!!!!!!!! the people withcamreas are not eaven real captain disallusion explained it

[yosteffen]

Why is the french always so insanly low?

Do they have more low alltitude traning or more relaxed regulation?

They rest of us get fucked for flying like french do "all the time"!

[doom3jocky]

lol the next han solo

[jofus2019]

c'est genial! That was great.

[francoislegrand7]

j'aimee mon pays!

[Raptorzz6]

its true btw is the graphics too good? too good for game just right for rl

[Vtwinsp1]

One word Captain Disillusion.

[greenmtboys]

I totally can tell you that what you are seeing is for REAL! Back in 1993, while in the USAF, I was stationed in Turkey during Provide Comfort and the enforcement of the Northern no-fly zone. Anyways we always had at least 7-8 KC-135's on the D Ramp (Dog) and one was French. They always tried to offer us POL (Fuels) guys wine as we refueled their jet. Ok back to the story. I was on the backside of the flight line driving down the taxiway when what I thought was a jet taking off the only ...(1st)

[greenmtboys]

.(2nd)thing was after I looked again I realized he wasn't taking off but coming down almost straight like a combat landing. After pulling back and straighten it out he flew straight down the length of the runway (Wheels up) about 10-15 feet off the ground. I thought it was the craziest stunt I had ever seen. By the end of the runway he pulled the jet back and did a hard right like a fighter jet. He had to have been a nut. So believe it or not but I do because I have seen it. Bring on the WINE!

[tjohn1986]

they merging ur other brethren with plumbers.

[tuutuutango]

French Pilots... My dad on his first trip flying a jet to France, had to meet French pilots, to show him "the ropes" for flying to Algeria. An hour or so before the flight, French plots were drinking wine at lunch. Just a few moments before boarding the G-II, French pilot told my dad he had a headache. My dad offered him aspirin. French pilot refused the aspirin "no drugs before the flight" he said. BUT IT WAS OK TO HAVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF WINE minutes earlier... Love those French people, eh?

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

Air France, nicknamed 'Air Chance' by US pilots, has several times RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE Taxiing to the gate at JFK, had to be towed in, but they sure fly low!

[cjhf22]

Lol... that's fake... besides.... it's in my favs! XD

Lol! es fake pero esta en mis favs!

[PAELofDI]

HOLY SHIT!!!! I work tankers for YEARS and NEVER saw no kind of shit like that NKAWTG!!!

[jeff1surfs]

Looks like he was just on take-off..

[cool007boy]

nope, he has his gear up ^^ :)

[JJ2422]

Did someone just yelled ameyica???

[vonpolo]

No he said "réveil les gars !" we can translate

"wake up guys !" (it's a typical expression in the french army)

Amazing joke but not really intelligent :x

[topbanana188]

Worrrrrrrr

[lucancona]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Typhoon1]

What the hell was a KC-135 doing at that level!?!?!

[neiliscool]

NICE

[fondacaroalfonso]

p**co dio !

Questo sì che è "avere fegato" !

[zstrife2099]

as a crew chief on 135s, my balls were in my throat the whole time watching that haha

[scappel]

lol definately no gpws on that one

[aniellod]

I can almost hear "pull-up! pull-up!"

[SmiertSpionem]

Yes I assume you are referring to a certain B-52 incident and later fatal crash? That pilot was a moron.

[ringo5000]

Sheeze. The guys squeals like a fruitcake! I wonder if he sat on something cold? :)

[biohazard013]

best low level pilots in NATO are french and romanians

[LambdaComplex]

eveybody says that about their own AF, or they supposedly heard some other AF pilots say it..

[biohazard013]

wrong....every AF in NATO is supposed to be specialised in something...USAF is in high altitude interceptions( including low orbit satelites). French and Romanian AF have such airplanes that are ok al vey low altitude missions...and the trainings of pilots are concentrated on that type of missions..for example RAF pilots are the best in oversea flight...

[Neanderthalmanny]

The french are not in NATO matey....

[ukexpat44]

the french are not officially in NATO no, but they do still particapate to such a level they are considered defacto members.!!

vvvvvv dot aeroflight dot co dot uk/waf/aftop.htm

this link illustrates this perfectly listing france amongst all the other nato airforces.!

[dufonrafal]

@ukexpat44 : Now, "the french are officially in NATO".

[ZeroScam]

crazy!
