Check out this IFR approach, calls for trust in your instruments, gets real interesting at about 2 min in.

That was incredible! Not a pilot but I greatly appreciate good pilots skills. I used to race off road and remember racing dune buggys in dust that thick, couldn't see past the front wheels, took some getting used.

I figured the video was a fake but I googled it and saw this...impressive, but after I thought about for a minute Ive seen equipment operators digging and grading using the machine as if it were just an extension of their hand, do something 40 or 50 hrs week you get real good.

I've seen something similar close up and even more impressive. I worked at a small golf course on 370 acres with corn crops and soybeans all around. The farmer hired a helicopter to spray because he had to dodge around hedgerows of trees surrounding the course and had to spray within a few feet of the trees. The heli would pull up and go verticle, stop, 360, and go back down then plane out horizontal and spray again. Just barely jutting above the tree line so I would say all this at under 150ft.
