depends on the route structure.. some are limited to 500ft.. some places
1000ft and some places.. 0.. but flying at 0 is tough... most times in the
restricted areas and not the IR routes.. we stay between 200-500

I'm guessing if a "black shape" passed below him,.. and scud running.. that
a rather large shadow passed above him and he thought something was below
him

where is Iron Mountain.. I'm thinking the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? Could
have been a B-52 on approach.. but there were some training areas up there
that they would get down to about 500ft or so.

nothing really close. At least the ones I saw.

I was about 50 miles behind a scud-running Stearman, who was inbound to
Iron
Mountain at 400 AGL. He called out that a 'black shape' just passed below
him.
He didn't see it coming or going. Always wanted to ask: how low do you go?
