Agreed...if taking off. If landing, then someone forgot to put the big handle down and there will be even better (and embarassing) pictures to follow

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to pull up...my only question is...how long has this fool been flying at this altitude if the gear is already up?

It is a fly-by and a spectacular one, out of a series of two (filmed). There's a couple of videos around the net.

1)boeings can't hover because their engines do not have the ability to face downward which will push the plane in the opposite direction (upward).
2)the plane is landing because its flaps are down which increases wind resistance and slows the plane down, allowing it to descend

It is not landing, as stated before, he's doing a flyby for an air show.

The air show director told the pilot "Do a flyby." The pilot asked "How low?" The air show director said "You're the pilot!"
