Ok, so it isn't a video. My father's log book from June 1943 when he was in 161 (special operations) squadron dropping supplies and resistance workers in occupied Europe. He told me that they attacked a munitions train, from a Halifax at about 100 feet and shot it up until it stopped. He was chastised by his CO for taking unnecessary risks.
The last three F-5 Freedom Fighters flying in the Norwegian Airforce showing some good formation flying at Sola Airshow 2007.
One of them is painted in a very nice tigermeet paintscheme.
From an old VHS video tape circa 1985 possibly in the Cold Lake MFA (Military Flying Area) in Canada.
The video is of low quality but at times it's clear enough to see that the aircraft is BELOW tree-top level (approx 50 feet in Cold Lake's MFA).
Airspeed is estimated at 400 knots. Hope you enjoy the video - this kind of footage is very rare.
N341A is the one and only Douglas DC-3 variant designated as a C-41A and was ordered by the U.S. Army Air Command in 1938 and delivered in September 1939 at a cost of $105,611.29. This was one of two aircraft requisitioned by Major General Henry ‘Hap’ Arnold along with a sister ship (designated as a C-41, and also still flying today as N41HQ) as VIP transports for himself and military command staff , as well as other high ranking officials including the Secretary of War. These aircraft were based at Bolling Army Airfield, Washington D.C. as a part of the 1st Staff Squadron.
N341A today retains its original distinctive tail insignia and bare metal finish, albeit now highly polished and with the addition of dark blue highlighting along the fuselage window line.
It is fully IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) flight capable with the installation of twin Garmin GTN750 GPS/Nav/Comm touch screen multifunctional display systems giving the flight crew live weather, traffic and terrain information and is fully ADS=B compliant.
In addition there are freshly rebuilt P&W 1830-94 engines and the aircraft is equipped with wing and propeller de-ice boots and a low pressure auxiliary oxygen system.

Am I missing something. the pic looks faked to me. Note no disturbance on the water from the prop-wash
Surely at that altitude there would some surface disturbance.
