#2 But B-52s had been practicing low level flights for years, to come in under Soviet radar.

Just what President Muffley had said.

#6 Now there's a .mov of an F-14? at Mach 1.1 running under the bridgeline that looks real. You can see the shockwave. It was posted here awhile back.

#10 "Well boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing... but we got one little budge on those Roosskies. At this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!"
Maj. "King" Kong op. cit. above

#11 I was fishing with some friends in south Louisiana in the early 1960's when two B-52s made a low approach on the radar bombinb range at Houma, La. they were at about 150 feet. The noise was deafening, and there was definitely some wind action. Buffs are awesome birds. Some of them are almost 50 years old.
