Jay, you really need to try 200 AGL (or shall I say AWL?) sometime,
over the water, when it's calm and the water is not crowded with boats.
It's a *lot* more fun than 500AGL. Trust me. Just stay 500 feet away
from the boats.


The most low level "AWL" flying that I've done was while I was over in
the New Orleans area... It seems that if you stay north of the
southern shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain, you can skirt right
underneath the MSY airspace without *having* to talk to the
controllers... Usually flew at around 200 ft, IIRC... Flying across
the swamps in southern Louisiana at that altitude is also
interesting...
