OK, that's low!
There's an interesting thread at the Airline Pilot forums, showing many aircraft flying as low as possible, in both peace and war. Here are just a few photographs from the thread to whet your appetite. I've reduced them in size to fit here.
There are many more at the link. Entertaining viewing for aviation buffs.

Nice :-)
Too cool. Like I need any more bad influnces. Thanks!
Reminds me of wisdom from Lex (RIP) You cannot break the record for flying low, you can only tie it.
