How’s this for a shedload of excitement? Two planes fly straight through a standing structure, mere feet apart.
Leader Paul Bonhomme and wingman Steve Jones have been flying together for 17 years, and they needed every ounce of that experience to pull off this amazing feat of aviation.
The Red Bull Matadors pilots and Air Race aces flew straight through a hangar at Llanbedr Airfield, north Wales, at a speed of 160 knots (185 mph), just one meter off the ground.
Watch the video above, and get an incredible 360-degree view of the barnstorm from the wingtip of Bonhomme’s Xtreme Air XA41 plane, below.
You can see Bonhomme in action at the British stop of the Red Bull Air Race at Ascot in August.
