PAF Mirage 007 Pilot does a James Bond

[GriffinsRule]

While the photograher admits its a photoshop, there are plenty of pictures of other planes doing exactly this in real life. And it is also not a stunt.
Basically it would be during a take-off run where the pilot has retracted the landing gear as the plane gains a little bit of altitude, but kept the plane going parallel to the runway for a bit long before going up.
Similar to this ...

This is a low pass by Anatoly Kvochur at the controls. It is a Gromov Flight Research Institute aircraft and I've seen it fly this low...

He's well known for that, and he's done it several times.

This is when he was with the Russian Knights.

He was also the pilot who flew the MiG-29 for the first time at the Paris Farnborough air show in 1988 and the next year during the routine, the right engine injested a bird and flamed out and the airplane curled to the right and went down fast. He ejected at the last milisecond. His parachute fully opened right before he made contact with the ground. He suffered minor injuries and was carted away in ambulance but this was him on that fateful 2nd ever appearance of the MiG-29 in front of western media in arguably the most famous airshow crash. He ejected at around 100 ft lol. That's like 30 meters.

He never flew for the Russian Knights. He flew for the Gromov Flight Research Institute as a test pilot and was part of the Test Pilots Display Team.

Is it not true that you need a lot of raw power to be able to do this maneouvre at such low level. Generally I have only seen such low level antics from twin engine beasts.

Ok, I stand corrected on that part. I thought that display team with the colored Su-27s he was flying were part of the Russian nights.

The Extreme Low Level

Imagine if one of the engines had failed at that level, no time to bailout or recover
