Could this be a R/C plane like the humongous B-52 they built, flew and crashed? There's also a C-17, and some guy here in Germany regularly builds large airliners with real jet engines...

It looks like a KC-135 Since they seem to know it's coming I think it is probably a regular low level training route

Agree it looks like a KC-135...it definitely is NOT a 747 as the video is labeled. Might be a low-level training route, but that was not "authorized". It was a dumb manuver to judge by the right wing/engine nacelle clearance. This sort of stuff made Bud Holland (in)famous.

Something's missing. The sound of those jet engines. It would be overwhelming at that distance.

I've seen a still photo in a magazine (probably Air International) of what is likely the same flyby. The a/c was VERY low. IIRC it was a VC-137 or something else a bit out of the ordinary, not a regular KC-135.
