Yes indeed. As a low-n-slow kinda guy in a T-34 training environment many many years ago, those lessons are well ingrained. We’re now developing some policies prior to the shoot that include a hard, absolutely no exceptions radio altitude floor, and have been validating our software based terrain warning system through a series of flights recently. As some of the shoot will involve large marine animals at a considerable distance from land, we’re also considering going through an underwater emergency cockpit egress training program, although providers seem to be somewhat scarce in this regard.

In any event, life’s a grand adventure, no amount of training and equipment will cover all the possible permutations, but hey, isn’t that the very definition of aviation?
