#1 Heh. When I was a kid, I had the pleasure of having a couple of jets go over my house at tree-top level. I distinctly remember seeing one of them PULL UP to go over some trees behind the house.

Quite an experience -- and one that would, I think, fill your britches if the planes were from a country you've been ordering and funding atrocities against.

#2 "with all of is thrusters directed exactly over the palace" It was at this point that Bashir felt really vulnerable and scrambled under the bed for cover. Aides found him later in the fetal position sucking his thumb.

#3 Definitely more effect with an F-15 than my Cessna 172. I defer to the masters with the big fuel credit cards.

#4 Now AP, flying a Cessna a "grasstop" height must be fun too....

#5 Yes it is. Especially flying meandering rivers at below treetop level (where there weren't any powerlines). Humming a tune from Dire Straits album. *sigh* Those were the days.....

I spent summers as a kid on the N. Florida coast.... I waited for the suckers. Happiness was an afterburner...

I once saw a B-52 running no more than 100 ft. above the marsh... I could see the flash paint on the underside...

Ah! The sound of freedom.
