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.

    Reminds me of wisdom from Lex (RIP) You cannot break the record for flying low, you can only tie it.
