The last two look real, the top one with the KC-135, I dunno, looks like a phreaky photoshop job to me. While fighter jocks do stunts like this all the time, airborne tankers aren't very maneuverable, and I think the ground-effect wind patterns would make flying that low to the ground almost certainly a suicide mission.

If the KC-135 video is real, I bet the pilot has his wings pulled after that stunt.

I dunno, 1 st one looks fairly authentic, real or not. In the desert, calm day, level ground. Ground effect should be fairly predictable. Still a really risky pass. Those other pilots in tha last 2 are simply insane as well. When i'm flying i prefer to avoid getting close to stationary objects at all costs :D

I believe that KC-135 video is real. The shadow tracks the aircraft. Digital photgraphy looks odd sometimes, but with the reaction, shadow, and all, I think it happened.

The aircraft isn't U.S., is it?

The KC, the folks are not speaking english... that combined with the markings not saying somthing like "USAF" makes me think it is not american.... just my two cents...
