This is a birds eye view of flight or at least as close as you will come. Watch the Goss Hawk flying through the forest. Unbelievable. Makes me want to go fly my 170. Doug

Very cool Doug.
While certainly not in the same class this reminds me of nap of the earth flying we did in the Army. I will never forget flying at 120 knots a few feet from the ground with the UH-1H rotor lower than the surrounding trees then pop up and over and down again. Fighter pilots experience somewhat the same feeling when they get low and fast I'm sure.

I see no one commented on this video so I will say it again; the bird video is cool, but look at this one. it is skydivers wearing a "wingsuit" and they fly next to cliffs and such. SO COOL. http://www.wimp.com/wingsuitflying/
