From the size and proximity of the projected shadow, how close do folks think that plane buzzed over that last building?
The left wing tip, it looked less than a wing span away in hight. Yikes!

Amazing that such a small plane could fit the massive balls that the pilot has.
This is why I prefer small planes to huge jets. Smaller planes are more likely to become gliders if the engines break, larger ones are more likely to just become stones.
The glide ratio of a Cessna 172 is about 9:1, video is from a T210N Centurion II, a similarly sized but heavier plane, so its gliding capabilities are worse.
The glide ratio of an Airbus A320 is 17:1.
A huge Airbus is much better at gliding than a small Cessna.
Which is better at barrel rolls?
Near the end of the flight, the aircraft was seen performing a barrel roll over Puget Sound, recovering approximately ten feet (3 m) above the water.
"Fuck the landing gear, fuck the prop, get on the ground!"
Damn fine job, pilot! (And I mean that in all seriousness. Landing gear and prop can be replaced).
Planes on the ground, pilots alive; perfect landing!
