They are learning how to catch every piece of lmg/hmg and small arms fire that can be sent their way by not very nice people in very far away places...
i remember in GW1 the initial RAF low level raids being abandoned due to losses in favour of going in a few thousand feet higher where it was a lot safer.
low flying no doubt has its place but altitude is a pilot's friend

If your enemy has effective radar and fighters, altitude may not be safe either!i remember in GW1 the initial RAF low level raids being abandoned due to losses in favour of going in a few thousand feet higher where it was a lot safer.

Once saw a C130 doing its thing along the Somerset coast, went so low into a valley that I looked for smoke from the crash.
I must admit I did wait a short while expecting that to happen as well. I have a sneaky feeling they know more about what they’re doing than I do. kurt535 said:

Ignorance is no excuse.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Royal_Air_Force...
Several years ago one of these did the same at Powick between Worcester and Malvern being buzzed by two Apaches helicopters. I lost sight of all three and went left towards Malvern then rounded the corner to be confronted by the two helicopters noses down and hovering facing into the oncoming traffic. Very impressive and quite a surreal sight whilst going about my business.
Here you go not only a low Hercules but also a car advert from the days you could add a bit of excitement!

There's been 2 flying over north Norfolk most nights for the last few weeks.
Usually Usaf but sometimes Raf.
One has no nav lights the flight radar sites show them very close together.
They have been doing some air drops at Raf Sculthorpe as well.
