[QUOTE=Mogwi;10050770]Yep, me too on the overhead wires! Flying between houses with wires above and/or not the performance to zoom through any holes. Not too bad in a Harrier ... but bloody difficult in a 747! Usually ended up taking the wings off against buildings but no one seemed to mind.

Yes, very much the same. Seems almost as if there is a common link here? Wires are well known as a hazard at low level but, so is the ground, birds, poles, AAA and missiles etc. I have hit lots of birds and been shot at but never dream about that. The wires getting in the way seems very specific. Also, the consequences of eventually brushing them or damaging the aircraft don't seem of any importance, no big crash-burn!
Thanks to all who contribute!
