Oh the hell with that! At least on cruise legs between refuelings at FL350,
both pilots can kind of "zone out". At or below 500' ASL would require
vigilence by both pilots and I have no idea how the hell you could do that
for
anything longer than 5 or 6 hours.

It's not so much the time that makes the minutes seem like hours. It's the flak
that maked the seconds seem like hours. In clear skies, it's all a piece of
cake.
