Jamie,
Low-Level is a means to an end. What I mean by that is that it gets you in position to do what your supposed to be doing (employing weapons, picking up or dropping stuff at various places).
As such, it is not the be all end all. In a modern fast jet it is not even close to the the most stimulating part of the role. You will be way more stimulated at medium level in a 60 ship Red Flag package, opposed by 20+ red air and a dense SAM belt, than you will be blasting through the Mach Loop for the 20th time.
Or consider dropping weapons danger close CAS, coordinating both within your element, and outside, where the precision and timeliness of your employment has real world effects on if the good guys or bad guys live or die. There are many more examples.
I’d suggest that you should be asking more questions about what people find stimulating/satisfying about their current roles, than dreaming about 40 year old (and now largely irrelevant) aircraft and employment methods.
