and another clip of the same incident has these words with it...

A swedish military pilot is under investigation after flying as low as 5 meters from the ground in 350 kilometers with a Hercules TP 84, the pilot a 50 year old experienced military pilot did the stunt after a military exercise at the military parachuters school outside Karlsborg in Sweden.
The pilot said it was just a prank/joke and gave no other explenation, the head of the Swedish Air Force is considering if there will be issued any punishment towards the crew of the Hercules TP 84

Regarding that C-130 clip, those guys are trained
specifically to fly that low -- it's how they deposit
their little "gifts" on the ground without scraping
their BUM!

I think they even have special electronics to allow
ultra-low passes like that!

I like to do my planning retroactively!
