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.

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
