If you are John Mohr, very low, and one-handed at that.

WOW. Knife edge of sorts too.

In a stock Stearman, no 450hp motor hanging on this one. Thank you for the comment cicopo.

That guy is such a stud! He does more with a 220 Stearman then most can do with a 450. You've certainly captures his performance well.

I've seen modern fighter pilots stop and watch John's master class in energy maneuvering.

Radial engines don't actually leak oil, by the way. They just mark their territory!

Please post pictures, not links! Many of us don't click links to go off-site.

John is one of my all-time favorite airshow performers!

Here are a couple of shots of him flying really low:

This one looks like it's an illusion, where the plane is in a ditch behind the runway so it looks lower than it really is. But if you look closely you can see the shadows from the wingtip and tailwheel. He's really only a few inches off the runway:

The lighting isn't great in this shot, but it's pretty clear exactly how low he's flying:
