Is there anything better than a flyover?<\/p>\n

Just last weekend, fans at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix<\/a> in Washington, D.C., were treated to seven of them in the lead-up to the race.<\/p>\n

However, none of them buzzed the tower quite like a couple of passenger jets did to a rugby stadium in South Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New Zealand<\/a> traveled to South Africa as part of a tour called “Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry,” pitting the All Blacks against the Springboks in a series of matches being played around the world.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s was in Cape Town, South Africa, and started with a doozy of a flyover by a pair of Embraer E-Jets from South African airline<\/a> Airlink.<\/p>\n

That was about as low as it could’ve been without grazing the heads of cheapskates in the nosebleeds with the landing gear.<\/p>\n

I mean, look at this from some other angles because it just makes it even more unbelievable.<\/p>\n

While it’s shocking to those of us who are used to seeing flyovers several thousand feet higher than that, it’s apparently pretty common in South Africa.<\/p>\n

South Africa: where they have sharks that jump out of the water higher than planes fly over stadiums.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure it was a shock to the system for any rugby fans in that stadium who were a few beers deep by the time the match got underway \u2014 which, let\u2019s be real, was probably most of them \u2014 but man, what an experience.<\/p>\n

Imagine that being done by something like the B-2 bomber that did a flyover at the aforementioned Freedom 250 Grand Prix, that low over a stadium.<\/p>\n

It would probably rattle the fillings out of your face, but you’d think it was the coolest thing ever.<\/p>\n

And then when you’d explain it to your dentist, he’d think it was the coolest thing ever too, and not just because he was getting paid.<\/p>\n
