This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

There's low, there's really low, and there's stupid... these guys are way beyond stupid... No wonder I heard stories of US Army guys finding any way possible to not ride with the Germans...

Looks about like the tactical portion of almost every battle drill flight, when I flew the Attack Helicopters for the Army.
What you don't see, is that for every 15-20 min NOE flight in Germany, we did a 1 to 1.5 hour wire recon of the intended route, (same day), before the actual NOE flight, a noise abatement assesment and a 1 hour mission briefing, all for a NOE flight about as long as the one depicted in the video.
Even with all that, we still had 3 wire strikes and 2 fatals in a 4 year tour in Germany. Granted, both were NVG/NOE missions, but the low level enviroment is off the scale from a safety standpoint.
Having done this for several years for a living, I can tell you 2 things about it for sure:
1. I would absolutely love to do it again in one of my warbirds.
2. I never will.

When it comes to low passes, you can only tie the record!

If you want to fly 5 feet off the ground, why not do it over a runway where you know it is clear? I know of at least 3 warbird guys killed in wire strikes, and 2 more that barely survived. A friend leading a flight of jets hit a cable 26 feet above a lake, square in the nose and made it back. Had he been a foot lower it would have taken off his canopy and head. He admits to being young and foolish then.
