I once met a guy at the Grand Canyon who flew a C-47 under the tower at the end of the war.

Not saying these guys aren't bad arse mofo's, but the span under the Eiffel tower is pretty large.

Eta: pretty sure it's a P-47 and not a C-47

pretty large until you are in an airplane going 400 miles an hour chasing somebody under it

kind of like minor fractures are only "minor" if they are someone else's
