Low Level Flying

I think i will offer my services on the 'Low Level' bit citing my previous experience on the Pawnee (complete with wire cutter) and flying Turbulents under (in my day) 10ft high bunting at airshows. I will be happy to demonstrate this to the Grob Trapper although we may increase the bunting height to 15ft!
The min 1,000ft exercises no good for me as i will get 'giddy' up there and suffer from hypoxia.
They have obviously given all this considerable thought including the 'bale out' provision on the low level bit when the Grob hits an equally low level Canada Goose which are now well established in the UK
In fact the low level 'bird strike' can be well demonstrated in the PTT with the added 'realism' of a whack from a 'ex' free range chicken and liberal use of ketchup from Lidl.
Beagle has that nice chap (hon pres 2FTS) answered your reasonable question yet !!!!
