haveing seen a thread in the b17 about low passes , i decided to have a go , it aint easy , try it yourselves , i took off from KBFI , flaps/gear up, then set the eng boost man press from 8 t/o to 5 , set rpm to 24 with prop levers , keep mixture in auto rich, then with throttles i set 25 man press , all speed an manouvers are then controlled by your ail/ele rud , with flaps and gear retracted , the challenge is take off at KBFI from the active with ASN weather , active for me this time was runway 31 , you fly the circuit and once lined up as if to land , dive slowly towards the runway , your speed as you level up should be about 200 to 250knts , HOW LOW DARE YOU GO , it took a few passes but each pass i was lower than the last , it looked like i was going to hit the runway , but on the fsx playback from nearest tower position , it looked like i still had 20ft to spare , from cockpit the alt was almost on zero feet,see vid , and see if you can beat it, OH one more thing after the low flypast , you have to land the aircraft intact,theres also hills and buildings to avoid at both ends of this airport.
