Qatar Airways Cargo Boeing 777 Performs Dangerous Low Pass in Texas

What happened

A Boeing 777-200LR (registration N705DN), recently converted from Delta to a Qatar Airways Cargo freighter, performed a low pass at Horseshoe Bay Resort Jet Center (DZB) in Texas on June 24, 2026. The aircraft, en route from Grissom Aeroplex (GUS) to Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW), detoured to visit Jetran, a conversion partner based in Horseshoe Bay. Video footage shows the plane flying at a very low altitude with landing gear retracted, and making a right turn with the wing just feet above the ground. The maneuver, likely intended to showcase the aircraft to the leasing partner, has sparked discussion on its safety and potential FAA investigation due to the proximity to a nearby community
