We recently had the safety officer from Sheppard AFB come to our EAA
meeting talking about the IR/VR low level routes and all the SUA around
the airbase. Then he showed several videos (including this clip). Scary
and one clip was a mid-air. I was once flying over Lake Texoma in North
Central Texas at 2500' ( ground elevation is ~ 750') and 3 C-130s went
UNDER me. That was interesting.

While climbing out of KSOP, as I passed through about 1500 feet a
flight of three A-10's went under me -- I was about 5 miles outside the
Ft. Bragg restricted area at the time. I thought it was kinda
interesting that they didn't make any radio calls as they basically
blew through the traffic pattern of the airport. When I got on the
radio to warn other pilots they were coming through, THEN they made
radio calls.

I've been low level in a B-52 near Hastings Nebraska in the IR route.. in
the turn at 500ft AGL, and had a C-172 go under me.

I've also flown the IR Routes in Wyoming and Montana while in B-1s, I've had
traffic cross co-altitude near Powell Wyoming again, abotu 500ft AGL. In
Montana, at least the crop dusters put out NOTAMs they were there, so we
could bump our minimum altitude up to 1000ft AGL and go over the top of
them. Yes, we spotten more than a few.

Large payload, NAP-of-the-earth flying capability, acres and acres of crops
needing spraying, ...hmm?

Yeah, supersonic spraying, very cool, but the turns...
Can you say...serious G's?
Nothing on the floor of the plane, but a little puddle, where the pilots used to
sit...... /;-o)

Yep, call Great Falls flight service and ask if the MOA's in the eastern
part of the state are hot and you get this mish mash of times they are
hot with all these different altitude. Screw it, going right thru the
middle.
