How low is too low?

This guy was CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) waiting to happen. What a moron, he nails a light pole at 600mph...

Fighter Plane Vs. Light Pole

Just proves there's always stupid people in every profession...

Hahaha, that's so dumb. I wish they'd show the damage to the light pole.

Just imagine the call on ATC .

Pilot : Tower, this is RAF Jaguar, FL00, coming in for flyby.
Tower : WTF, FL00? You're sick! Gain altitude, moron .

Well, I shouldn't talk, I clip trees in FS04. I take my Hornet on very-low level flight, and with the poor hit detection, I get a collision .

Ever try downloading a carrier for FS04 and landing on it? It can be done, but it's real, real hard cause of the terrible impact detection. I did manage to get the default 737-400 into and back off of a carrier once...

Oh, and transition altitude in the UK is 6000 feet ASL, so it'd be something like...60 feet instead of FL000... That'd still be funny as hell though...
