buzzing a Moscow highway

Maybe you can post some outside-view photos of that low-flyin' spruce goose
:-)

BTW do you live in NY or Florida?

the ground, perhaps?

Yes, they set it to zero on the ground (QFE), just like everywhere else in
Europe.
And also don't forget that aneroid altimeters have a certain margin of
error,
especially when it's cold or warm. (I totally forgot what's the legal
allowance is,
I think it's 25')

It's not a spruce goose, it's a PZL Wilga-35

I have a through-the-windshield video shot from the plane, and I wish I could share it,
but it's way too incriminating, sorry, can't do.

BTW do you live in NY or Florida?

In Miami for the last 2 years, and trying to avoid NY at any cost.

A Wilga! Very cool. They were quite popular here in the
Southwestern U.S. about 10 years ago (I think there was a local
dealer). Haven't seen one in quite awhile. As I recall from a short
flight, low and slow was the airplane's strong suit. Just out of
curiosity, are the cars in the video passing the plane?

How do you mean we set our altimeters to QFE everywhere in Europe?
I certainly do not, it is always QNH for me and a lot of others.

Bull****! Europe is all the same, you people all speak French, use same money
and drive Rovers! I know it, cuz I saw it on CNN, and they won't lie!

True, CNN won't lie.
But we lie to CNN a lot ;-)

The road is supposed to be single lane. And the two cars sitting in
the middle of the road stopped are supposed to be State police. That
is the standard of road buzzing here in the USA.

And the picture must include the scared cop's face.

I have not ever done that, but that is the goal of such odd behavior.
To stunt.

And stunting require the ever present power lines to be dodged.
A stupid and dangerous stunt.
