2900 Feet AGL is Low???? Just kidding. Army helicopters, if anything other
than the rotors are above the trees, your too high. But when I fly PP-ASEL
anywhere, I get up there. There is nothing like altitude.

What is that saying? Two things that are useless, Fuel on the ground and air
above you?

This is an interesting statement that begs for an explanation. Why do
you
like to fly "very low"?

Gosh, doesn't everyone?

My primary reason for flying at 2900 feet AGL (if you consider that
low--I do!) is that it frees me from having to think about airways
while getting me above the controlled airspace near my home.

I almost never go higher, and I am so accustomed to this altitude that
I feel a bit uncomfortable flying lower, though I will do so if
there's a strong headwind. There aren't many pastures where I fly, and
I like the extra gliding distance.

The view is great from 2900 feet. If the poster means that he likes to
smell the newmown hay--well, that's another matter.
