OK, This reminds me of the time I was flying formation with a Long EZ up the Merimac River at about the same or lower altitude. He pulled up and I went on to "buzz" the campground where a number of friends were camped. We woke them up. I pulled up to about 1000 feet AGL and then did a circle and went back down on them and back down the river. I don't think they got my numbers because I never heard about it "officially". This was more fun than...... Responsible, well I never was in a position to kill them or me. FUN, I have to tell you, that once you fly over a place and then go back down at the level of cleaning off your wheel pants, it is too cool. Then there is another story, when I took one of my best friends, who has now passed away because of prostate cancer and one of the best reasons of going cruising on by boat, down the Missouri River. We dropped down at water level between the two cliffs covered with trees and flew up the river. We pulled up when we got to the tug pushing barges and figured he really didn't want to be buzzed at more than 50 feet. No numbers seen then either. I'm not saying that you should actually do this with your KR but have you lived yet????? It is really too cool. I won't go into the story of when I was trying to learn to fly the KR and went for a ride with Dan Diehl and we were pulling up for cows and then had to turn to a 45 degree bank to get through two trees before dropping back on the deck. I guess I had a "good" teacher.
With that said, fly as safe as your skills allow.....
