Great Video!

In an A10 Warthog you use flat turns (skidding un coordinated no ailerons) to keep the wingtips out of the trees and in a helicopter you're looking up from the cockpit to avoid wire strikes.

Flown this river many times low and slow in my 182 ,first time ended up flying under the power lines, and to my surprise there was another wire under them , so ended up flying between them (too low and slow to climb or turn) lesson learned.

Flat turns I do them in my 182 for the same reason to avoid lowering the wing when low level turning, pilots do freak out when they see them.
