In the days before safety became paramount... this kind of flying was only by military pilots generally, but occasionally its still seen by airliners... as shown on these clips.

Which leads to warbirds displays...do most warbird pilots have low level flying qualifications endorsed/approved/required or do they prefer to stick to base minimums at airshows in the US instead to get around the safety of low flying?
