Bigasshammm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Indeed wow. Gorgeous photos. How low is low level flight? Hard to tell zoomed in like that. Any panned out shots for perspective? This F-15 shots though wow. You can read the pilot's tattoos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This F-15 shots though wow. You can read the pilot's tattoos. UK armed forces fixed wing flies down to a minimum of 250ft whilst USAFE's hard deck is 500ft. Rotary assets can go down to 50ft.

11bee Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Love that C-130K, quite the interesting paint job. Any reason for it? On a semi-related note, do USAF transports practice low level flying like that or is that only a Brit thing? Great pictures, thanks for posting. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Love that C-130K, quite the interesting paint job. Any reason for it? On a semi-related note, do USAF transports practice low level flying like that or is that only a Brit thing? I see USAF or ANG C-130s on the deck where I live all the time. Sometimes at night. It seems to me that they are no higher than 500ft, if even that. I'd love to get a pic of one someday, but usually as soon as you hear them, they come over a mountain and are gone behind the next in seconds. Which I guess is the whole purpose of this type of flying. Edited August 10, 2011 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
