[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 827453, member: 14661"] I grew up about a quarter mile from the eastern boundry to NAS Lemoore. The Western side of the base is nothing but scrub and field crops with almost no inhabitants. They would fly just barely off the ground until they hit the base boundary and then nearly vertical until the hit a certain alttitude and then level off again. As low and fast as I remember watching them fly, there's no way they could get themselves out of trouble if anything happened. The whole point was to push themselves and their aircraft to the limit. Seems like every year we lose two or three ex-navy pilots in crop dusting accidents around here. They just can't resist the temptation to fly UNDER the power lines. [/QUOTE]
