There's a KC-135 video out there (I think it was a French jet?) showing an EXTREMELY low-level pass.

Rumour has it that a C-130 whilst carrying out low level flying with the Special Forces, flew so low that it broke a fishing boats' mast and that back in the seventies when they were experimenting with the parachute delivery system for cargo. Two SAS types sat in a Land Rover to see if a troop could be dispatched together with their vehicle, needless to say both guys broke their necks on landing.
