Sh*t for brains is what that demonstration proves. And the Pilatus guy boasting about how this was "nothing- you should see what I can do...." congrats... you're well on your way to becoming a statistic.

I didn't realize there was a skills competition. Did everybody get an invite except me?

All components of the French military seem to be caught up in this low fly competition every time they deploy to Africa. Mirage F1's blasting along a dirt road at 5 feet while playing with the tits and knobs on their HUD, Puma helicopters grazing the ground and even KC-135's at 10 feet and 300 kts. All of it recorded for posterity and proof of their prowess. Canadian Sabre drivers used to be pretty wild too back in the 50's and early 60's, but that started to change when we crashed around 111 of them in one very bad year (don't know how many fatalities but I'm sure it was up there).

There is tactical justification for flying low under certain threat conditions and of course it has to be trained for. But there is no tactical or training justification for flying as low as these people are, especially the KC-135, and the fact that many of these aircraft have other people on board besides their dimwitted pilots makes it all the worse. All for the sake of nothing more than bragging rights at the bar.

The people who should be held most responsible for the inevitable deaths are the commanders who allow this to continue.
