So when the next horse is spooked by a Chinook at 100ft, do we then move up to 250'? 500'? When does it end - I am vehemently against this reduction in capability.
a) 50' transit trg IS relevent - whatever theatre a crew is practicing for (Despite what some may say on here).
b) As has been previously stated, the tactics of the Military should not be dictated by the whims of a minority dangerous-sports society.
c) Just as many horses will continue to be spooked by cars, kites, clouds, balloons or crisp packets as well as ac operating at 100ft.
If we are not careful we will end up like the Americans where low flying is a 'Special Ops' skill only and all their standard mates have been flying round Iraq at 500' getting their asses shot off.
