No kidding! The only pilot I know that puts his wingtip that close to the ground is Kent Pietsch,... and he will actually drag the wing and make it look easy! Amazing!!

Yeah, and his brother Warren is no slouch either. Two of the finest pilots I've ever seen fly. And great guys to boot!

I would be astounded if the pilot in that aircraft was less nervous than me when that part occurred.
