To this day Air force B-52H crews fly low-level practice missions at or below 300 ft while flying at 350Kts. These missions include flying at those altitudes through the mountains as well as flat plains.

I know several B-52 pilots who would have to jump bridges and transmission lines because they were flying under 100ft.
