Hadn't seen this before - 3rd pic down it looks like all those M-14s have the fun switch installed. Pic below that - not very squared away there, guys!

That's not low.

This is low:

BTW the TFR would fly the aircraft on autopilot down to about 200 feet - below that your on your own, and they flew most of the early missions well below 200 feet once anywhere near the Iraqi airfield.

This is low 1:27 is low - ground above the aircraft.

There's another video - may not be public, but the aircraft is clearly less than the height of the fin above the ground.

And getting them launched on the first night took a little cajoling, especially if say a warning light wasn't working on test, but they all went.
