Extremely low tanker

Think they go a little bit lower to land...
Joking apart, he is low, no room for error.

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.

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.

Some exhilarating action there.
Skilful flying indeed.

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

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.
