how about a haircut and a shave ?

I'll give the French credit this one time. I'd be the one retreating for sure if I was there.

I saw a video somewhere taken at a flight show of a helicopter that did the same thing but the skids actually hit the ground.

I'm more impressed with the flying between the trees right after. THAT takes balls. You scuff the dirt, you'll probably be ok. Scuff a rotor blade and you're scrap metal.

I think Vic Marrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen would take issue with the title "The CRAZIEST low pass ever by a HELICOPTER" and say "No, a crazy low pass by a helicopter, but not THE craziest" Oh, wait, they're dead now because of being involved with THE craziest low pass ever by a helicopter.

Maneuvers like this don't express skill. They just show how stupid some people will go to impress people.

Im guessing this French helicopter was getting attacked from above.

typical French retreat drill...

Actually, the helo wasn't passing in that case, it was hovering overhead and was more-or-less "shot down" by pyrotechnics. Nothing to do with crazy, it was an accident. An accident made possible by a maverick director, but an accident none the less.

Hmm. Video plays, but is just black. Possibly dead?
