Good F-4 video
A good video of F-4s from various air forces (mostly foreign).
There is some LOW LOW flying in there
Brings back some good memories.

That took ME back!!
Gump:
Actually, those jets were all RAF, as far as I could tell: they have the square-topped vertical fin.
There is an EW range in Scotland (Spadeadam; I think that is where they did the low-passes with the buildings as a back-drop), and some of that looks like Loch Ness. Overall, most of it appears to be shot in Scotland in what the RAF calls "Moon-Country." I asked--"Because it has the same population density as the moon, and even if you pi$$ someone off for low-flying and noise, it will take them a week to find a telephone to complain to the MOD."
What could be better than watching Rhinos (trademark!) flying low and fast, with Joe Satriani for a soundtrack?
Here's a link for another "F-4" video:

I've heard of that area in Scotland from our Jag and Tornado exchange pilots. Even near Death Valley I don't get to go THAT low
Thanks for the other links!

Addendum
The Dutch never flew Phantoms, but US Phantoms were based there (Soesterberg Air Base).
The "Iron Cross" threw me at first, but it is a Brit jet--so probably a Brit jet based in Germany. That, and even 68 years after the Battle of Britain, the Brits still hate the Germans and needle them at every opportunity. How many times I had to play 'referee' at the bar for some NATO exercise.....
The Brits are normally cleared (airspace-dependent) to fly at 100 ft...but sometimes they are 'off' just a bit.
