Excellent .... well said
The ground has a P sub K of 1.00. That show of force would have sucked if you caught a skid and balled it up in front of those you were looking to intimidate.
Im not saying there isnt a time and place to get really really low but a tacitcal need to get below 20 feet is rare if ever.

I agree with you but my Aircrew Trainging Manual tells me that NOE flight is 0-25 feet above the highest obstacle and not to exceed 40 KIAS. I am just wondering if the Navy practice NOE flight and if their restrictions are more on the conservative side. Also the role of the KW is to scout and recon it is my job to fly low and provide cover and security.

NOE @ 25 feet? Not to exceed 40 KIAS? Naaaaaa .... that's not NOE .. !!! You must mean "conservative Navy NOE" like this ...... right ???
Now THAT's NAVY NOE ..... smiles, all smiles
and just tryin' to help understanding )(p.s. the A/C is 54 feet long with a 53 foot wingspan -- see the shadow? Do the math --- dowwn there you don't even need an altimeter --- and he ain't going' 40 KIAS, either.

Green side is 0-50 feet under 40 knots but a little higher and faster is much more survivable. As for A4s in the glory days, its a good thing youre in the Airlines now because none of the fast movers come down to play much any more. I think the term is JDAM truck.
