I've never  been that low (except for approaching to land); the normal  
minimum is 80m (250ft) although I have been authorised to practise at  
100ft min in the UK, Canada and USA (Nevada ranges).  Normal cruise  
speed at low level for us was 480mph (420kts); but I've been faster on  
every trip, up to 575mph (500kts) for level bombing attacks.

Yes, I'd love to do that again, but the price would be 4 months away  
from home every year ...
