Low flying jets?

They're not just showing off - that's their mission profile, low approach. I saw some Tornados in there. Couple tidbits: they're often actually not stick-on, much of that the plane is flying itself using NAP capability (radar, altimeters + really fast avionics software). Check the guy looking at his map while the plane flies itself 10ft off the ground. Also they train in the southwest US alot, but fair good chunk of that footage is from DS 1. As cool as it is, the UK low level Tornado pilots suffered much higher casualty and plane loss rates than the US and UK sorties following high-profile flight path tactics.

 

Sweet video.
