I'd have loved to have seen that. I'd have been without a camera, too, I fear.
When I went through FAC training at Hurlburt, we were technically allowed to go down to 500 feet when over the ranges, but all our training was predicated on the "official minimum altitude" for FACs in Vietnam: 1500 AGL. Thy said we'd didn't have to learn to fly lower than that because we never would do it in combat.
Uh huh. Yeah. Right. You betcha.
Several of us came back with green on the plane's belly, one of the guys had a branch stuck in his leading edge and another had a crossbow arrow in his wing.
