Just when I thought that I thought that they couldn't go any lower, these guys come by and set the bar to an insanely high (or should I say low?) level. This is by far the lowest low approach I've ever seen. Just check out how close the wheels are to the runway and keep in mind that it did not touch. For those that are wondering why the gear doors are open: This was was testflight after maintenance, where they fly the ILS to test the systems and part of the procedure is the alternate gear extension.
