As always...great pics Mirage.

Just one quick correction.

L 9015 is the French Mistral Class Dixmude. Not the Russian Vladivostock. Here she is:

Yes, I agree.

But even NOE is not like these extremely low pass situations. In NOE you are generally still 100 feet up or so. Maybe some lower...but not 3 feet off the ground.

My point is that there are definitely some use for very low level flight. Any penetration mission to avoid radar as much as possible will involve it staying below the radar horizon. But they are still not as low as these flights.

yeah some of those Recent Russian flights are flying so low they should have Landing gear out.

LOL!

I have seen some that if they put their landing gear down...they would crash because they would hit the ground.

Some of them are that low!

No of course not.. These pilots were clearly showing off then again they wouldn't_t be fighter jocks if they have demure risk averse personalities. I once saw a f-18 flew
About 3 or 4 ft off the sea and then pulled a vertical climb on full burner into a split s and hammer stall. Nice!

It is dangerous to be a low (slow) flying aircraft or Helicopter on the battlefield now days.
