BAE Hawk trainer, I recognize it as they fly over my house here in Canada every day nearly, as I live right near their approach to the most active runway.  Great little aircraft, 2 seat trainer with all the MFD's HUD's from the F18, or fighter for the moment, makes for a quick transition from trainer to fighter.

Love to hear Eagl sound off on the NOE training in this video that the F15E's were doing.

You'll notice the F-15Es are all flying significantly higher than the other planes, including the C-130.  That's due to our low level flight restriction of no lower than 500' AGL and technically not allowed to fly in "canyons", although canyon is not well defined.  500' up and 2000' lateral clearance is our training minimum.

You might also notice that the F-15Es were partially making up for it by going just barely subsonic...  .92 mach is about where shock waves start to form but not too many planes can keep going that fast at low altitude.

That's exactly what I was wondering about, thanks.

I assume those restrictions are removed in combat?

Did you read the comments on that video?

The one about the barn with the writing on it made me laugh out loud.
