MMLim 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 M44-06? Last Sunday it was in MKZ for paratrooping exercises. After the last take off leaving MKZ, the pilot made a low flypass over the control tower and made a tight turn. It came as a complete surprise. Too bad I already put my cam into the bag, but nevertheless it is fun to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
