I know that the US Military banned it's pilots from flying in Star Wars Canyon after a fighter crashed, killed the pilot and injured some observers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. There are conditions that make low level flight dangerous like strong winds, poor visibility or low sun positions. The Mach Loop is a much more challenging course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get to fly the Dead Sea run several times which was also a lot of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the aircraft software couldn't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
