  1. When they are low like that, you can't hear them until they are on top of you.

    Had a C-130 buzz us in a similar fashion (not quite as low as the pic) in Kuwait back in 1990.

    I didn't know it was coming, and it darn near scared the urine right outta me!

    Air-wingers..........[rolleyes/]

  3. Zoomie- While I was at Bitburg AB in '90. We had an exercise with the RAF.

    Those Tornado drivers were crazy. The one pic of one flying between hangars, I saw some stunts like that.

    They would come in with their OPFOR bombing runs over the flightline & hard shelters no more than 20-30 feet above them movin on probably. close to 400kts.

    Lot's of good memories from back then.

  5. Part of the time I was in the Crops I swung with the wing, and we had a pilot come back with cactus scraps on his wings. I have seen the mini-gun on a Cobra-W replaced because it hit a cactus.
    I have hung off a rope below a Sea Knight and was worried about being ran into trees.

    I've seen crop dusters get into pretty tight spots also.
