A video of a low flying Saudi C-130 plane zipping over a soldier in Yemen in a desert area surfaced on social media on Friday.
It was not immediately clear if the maneuver was planned, but the soldier is seen trying to slap the underside of the plane with his hat while those taking the video are heard cheering at the display of airmanship.
The C-130 airlifter plane is known for its ability to land and take-off from remote places. Saudi Arabia uses them mainly to deliver personnel and equipment, as well as humanitarian aid for Yemeni people.
