A group of F-15E Strike Eagles<\/a> out of RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, were caught on camera twisting and turning through the mountains near the town of Dolgellau at altitudes as low as 500 feet, WalesOnline<\/a> reported. Pilots learn to use the terrain to help avoid being tracked by radar, a sometimes crucial skill in a combat zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
