To fly an aircraft at a very low altitude, just above the ground or treetops; also the act of this type of flying.
Compound from 'hedge' and 'hop,' created by RAF pilots in World War II who flew so low they seemed to be hopping over hedges like a frog.
Hedgehopping became a real tactical technique in WWII—pilots would fly so low over fields and hedges that radar couldn't track them, making it an exciting but terrifying combat maneuver.
