@pirate1.0: The Air Zimbabwe Boeing 707-330B low pass was a fully authorized, non-revenue display flown by Captain Darryl Tarr, the airline's senior type rating examiner on the 707 fleet, during an airshow at Harare in May 1995 with only a three-person crew on board. Tarr executed a meticulously planned sequence that included a slow pass at 125 knots with flaps 40 and the gear up, followed by a gear-down pass, and a high-speed pass at roughly 400 knots true airspeed. During the go-around after the slow pass, Tarr has stated the radar altimeter briefly read as low as 6 feet beneath the aircraft's keel, a feat that required extreme precision and careful energy management. The confusion surrounding this event often stems from a separate, unauthorized flyby by an Air Zimbabwe Boeing 767 on a commercial passenger flight during a 1993 airshow, which was wrongly attributed to Tarr in some media reports—Tarr has repeatedly emphasized that his 1995 display was legal, sanctioned, and never compromised safety. #boeing707 #airzimbabwe #aviation
