Inches From Disaster: Qatar-Bound 777F’s Wing Nearly Strikes Ground In Risky Low Pass

The pilot initiated a right bank at the aircraft’s lowest point, bringing the 777F’s wingtip within feet, or perhaps even inches, of contact with the ground. While the flyover was already questionably low, the banking maneuver at such an altitude was incredibly dangerous. Even a slight gust of wind at the wrong moment could have led to disaster.

Horseshoe Bay’s airport features a 6,000-foot runway designed primarily for private jets and smaller regional aircraft, and also sits right next to a residential community.
