In a video posted to the unofficial U.S. Air Force subreddit on Thursday, you can watch as an RAAF C-17 zooms between skyscrapers in Brisbane, Australia, while some enthusiastic onlookers drop some very colorful commentary behind the camera. The fly-by, which happens regularly as part of the annual Sunsuper Riverfire festival, was a practice run ahead of the formal event scheduled to take place on Saturday, according to a RAAF press release
The C-17 flyby has taken place at each festival since 2017, according to The Aviationist, and every year a round of videos of the wild stunt make their way onto the interwebs, where they amaze and impress viewers near and far.
But as cool as the stunt looks, it is also incredibly dangerous, one U.S. Air Force C-17 pilot told Task & Purpose.
"If the crew's timing is off or if they are slow to react, the jet would collide with a building. Very risky," said the pilot, who spoke anonymously as he was not authorized to speak with the press.
