New video shows yet another insane Libyan Mig-23 low pass over a beach

Libyan pilots like to fly their Migs low and fast.

We have already posted some cool shot and a video of the two Libyan Air Force MiG-23MLs (6472 based at Benina and 6132 based at al-Watiya) perfroming ultra low level flybys on photographers at an airbase in Libya.

Here is a video of a Free Libya Air Force Mig-23 performing another crazy flyby over a beach near Benghazi, a sign that Libyan pilots keep flying low and fast.

Cool, but risky.

  2. As of mid February 2016, all the Libyan MiG-23 were shot down or crashed. It is a rare event where a historic jet model fights to the last one.
