F-16 close shave at Waddington Air Show, Report

Talk about a close call.

Spectators at an air show in Waddington, England got a close look at a fighter jet – maybe too close.

The jet flew right overhead as it prepared to land.

Footage posted online – going viral for its chilling effect – shows the Turkish Air Force plane flying past only a couple of feet over the heads of those gathered near the start of the runway at RAF Waddington.

The one-minute-19-second YouTube video shows the moment at the Waddington International Air Show, when spectators are waving as the Turkish aircraft approached in the distance.

But as the jet came closer, the crowd only had splits of seconds to realize it had come too close as it got lower – an instance that made some people duck and run for cover.

“That was bit close, wasn’t it,” one man was heard remarking as he recovered after the narrow miss.
