my god, that's such a low pass

I like doing things like that in flight sims but it must take a lot of skill to do it irl

It's all about prep and planning. Unlike flight sim they don't just go and weave through whatever environment they want. There are detailed route studies with all obstacles, terrain and towers identified; custom maps made highlighting the safe corridor, climb points and obstacle required to be in sight to continue without climbing. For something live Riverfire they then practice it in a simulator as well.
