USN F/A 18F NOE over beautiful California

[dbc]

A US Navy F/A-18F pilot practicing NOE (nap of the earth) flying over Northern California before crossing into Oregon towards the end of the video. The route the pilot is flying is known as VR-1251 and is used for low level target penetration training as it starts over the Pacific and ends at NAS Fallon, Nevada, after flying over the Cascade and Sierra mountains.

Great flying...he was also looking back at the camera while executing a sharp turn along the river!

Not sure how much stick time this pilot has, but the route is flown by nuggets as NOE training sortie. The rule is minimum air speed 200 Knots and maximum altitude 200 ft.
