The video posted by ORAC reminded me that quite often the members of this forum* generally give kudos to low flying; the many Mirage/Jaguar/Bucaneer/Harrier/Tornado/F16 videos as well as a French KC135 spring to mind. I am not an aviator in any sense but am curious to consider what other factors if any led to what seems to be quite a draconian recommendation given that this guy had made it through the presumably expensive training system,
*other forums are available.
