A pilot landed a plane within inches of a parked jet on a runway as onlookers watched on in horror.
The heartstopping footage shows the plane coming into land, before it descends towards the runway and brushes past another parked plane.
A child could be overheard screaming as the DC3 approached the runway in South America near Colombia’s border with Brazil.
While some screamed in disbelief, one bystander could be heard whooping with joy at the devil-dare flyover instead of running for his life.
Regional newspaper El Morichal posted the footage on a social media feed alongside the strapline: “Skill or recklessness?”
Local reports said Civil Aviation authorities had launched an investigation into the incident at Taraira’s airstrip, where DC3 planes carrying cargo and passengers land three times a week from larger cities in Colombia and tractors are used to take passengers’ luggage from the hold.
