1) I was sitting in a UH-1 with the doors open as we did a 'map of
the earth' return to our base in southern Honduras. The others
hesitated when the pilot asked if we wanted to do it, so I chimed
in and said yes! Nothing spectacular in terms of photos but it was
the situation.
What's a "map of the earth" return?

Mike,
Basically, it is following the terrain of the earth with a set
altitude. So that could be 400 feet above the ground and tree tops...
What a blast,

Sounds like a recipe for regurgitation. 8-) I sometimes watch the
RAf practicing low flying in the countrysdide around here. 400' would
be considered as getting some height for a look around 8-)
Ever seen the film of the RNAS making a mock attack on a bunker in
Arizona/Nevada?

Nap of the Earth (not Map btw) can be a lot of fun. Oneof my earliest
memories is flying at treetop height down a river in northern BC,
sitting in the front right-hand seat of my father's Bell 206 Jetranger.

_Now_ it makes sense. Not that I would want to go in a paraffin budgie
at any time.
