Low level flight. Back then, in the early 60s, there were no
restrictions on VFR low level, other than stay out of airport control
zones, towns, and obey the general altitude restrictions. We used to
fly cross country low level -


We used to do about the same with transport a/c. In those years I
was with a transport sqdn on C-119's flying service flights
between Toronto and the East Coast. Much more fun at low level
doing impromptu 'airshows' for little villages in Maine and NB
and the odd forest ranger tower operator than boring IFR at 8, 10
thousand feet.

You can't get away with fun stuff like that now...
