re: Qatar cargo converted 777 makes an insanely low pass at TX airport

It was a joke

Jest also take off from that same runway in the same direction and blast their engines pretty close to that fence. See those concrete bumpers on that road by the beach? Folks have been blown into them and suffered major head trauma before. Idiots try to hold on to that fence to resist the jet blast.

Also why was that 777 at a random little airstrip in texas?

Was it getting painted there or something?

A lot of them get painted here in CHS, I see them flying over my place taking their practice flights or whatever it is they're doing. Because Qatar Airways definitely does not have flights out of here with that size plane

There's a cool bar next door that writes on a chalkboard all the planes that will be arriving and taking off.

Looks like about 350" above ground.

Estimated wing tip clearance of only a few feet off the ground.
