thrill seeker

30mph on a go cart seems quite fast. 70mph in a Mondeo is a similar sensation now the distance eye-ground has increased.

But 125kts at 1000 ft in a light aircraft and 450kts at 35000ft in the heavy iron and that feeling of speed is muted.

So how about flying low over the sea for that "going quite quick" feeling. Is it dangerous, and how low before it gets really silly?
