I am sure there are advantages of approaching at all altitudes. Not being an suicidal terrorist, I can't opine on which would be the best.

Since the J3 could legally approach until the edge of the TFR zone, I would imagine a higher altitude for the dive speed might be better. The lower altitude makes you more vulnerable to small arms fire and kills the ballistic trajectory option.

It is an intriguing problem to consider.
