Why do combat aircraft fly so low?
Our pilots must master various flight maneuvers in order to accomplish their missions. One of these maneuvers is the military low-level flight, which enables pilots to operate under the radar and thus hardly visible to enemy forces.
How are the pilots trained for this?
During basic training in the United States, they practice their first low-level flights. Further training is then carried out largely in Germany. After that, however, the pilots need to preserve and enhance the capabilities learned in frequent training flights.
