- spydez 16y agoI'm not an aeronautic engineer, but I used to be a pilot. I would say yes, he's getting increased lift by being that close to the ground. My sources include dusty memories and Wikipedia, so... grains of salt all around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_in_aircraft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_in_aircraft
