The aviation world's version of the Limbo dance.

How low can you go?

Too Low?

according to my research:

this occurred in 1945 during a strafing run over Italy. The pilot was able to fly the plane 120 miles back to base and land safely. It's a real testament to how tough the P-47 was.

Yup. Too low (at the wrong place/time ).

Did the pilot decide to cut down some Nazis with the prop?

The Buccaneer was more at home at 5 feet than 15,000 feet. Wonderful plane.
