Think they go a little bit lower to land...

This is the same location [and probably the same time] that the notorious Bud Holland was doing his cowboy act in the B.52, which, of course, eventually was to end in disaster for him and his crew at an airshow rehearsal.

Re: Extremely low tanker
Hi John, I thought the actual flying was in one of the French Territories possibly Chad the 707 was a french tanker, I have a number of videos of the same ilk ultra low level flying with mirage F1s. Can some of our more knowledgeable postees comfirm the area etc.

I watched some footage of the Tornado crews out in Goose Bay practicing OLF work.

Re: Extremely low tanker
Andrew, you could well be right. Looks very similar to something I saw with a B.52 with Americans stood there whoopin' and a'hollerin'!. Looks a very similar location. Regards, John.
