It seems like an Argentinian pilot decided to have some fun with his buddies, and did a super-low flyby much to their shock and chagrin. Though watching a fighter jet streak by mere feet off the ground is amazing, my favorite part is the streak the plane's exhaust leaves over the grass. He must have been very low, indeed. Now, some of you might doubt the veracity of this video -- after all, it is pretty incredible. But there are two sides to every story, and if you want to see the pilot's perspective on this little stunt, read on after the break.

Nate Bolt had some very patient neighbors on his flight from Los Angeles to Paris, who didn't mind his camera clicking every few seconds as he documented the trip for this stunning stop-motion video. Compressing 11 hours into two minutes, this video has beautiful mountains, stars wheeling overhead, and even an appearance by the Aurora Borealis. The view almost makes up for the lack of peanuts.

Peter Graves, the Mission: Impossible star who inspired countless geeky fantasies of espionage and self-destructing tapes as the star of the kinda-funny, kinda-serious series from season 2 on, but who we'll remember best as Captain Clarence Oveur from Airplane! and Airplane II: The Sequel ("Clarence Oveur, over"), passed away yesterday at the age of 83 due to an apparent heart attack, the Washington Post reports.
