If you lived next to a MotoGp track, would you therefore be ok with the local squids doing 100mph wheelies in your neighborhood?

The guy wasn't buzzing the tower, he was flying low (if we take his word on this) and slow.

They certainly get far less time to try and avoid the inhabited homes, that they're flying over.

I find it amusing two of the biggest whiners on the board are in here pointing fingers on a situation they weren't there to experience.

So do I. I'm obviously exaggerating. As were my next door neighbors. And the people across the street from them. And 2 houses down. And 3 houses down. And across the street from them. And.....

Yep. We all were pissed for absolutely no good reason.

There's a reason for the minimums above populated areas (mainly room to recover if shit goes wrong). I'd be a whole lot less worried (and way more interested

) in air force planes flying low and slow over my house than some random private pilot.

While in Savannah during my EMT schooling, my hotel was right next to the runway for Hunter Army Airfield. It never got the fighter jets but it got some badass C5s and C-17s coming in and leaving. Those planes are just so fucking sexy and beastly. The also reminded my hotel walls who daddy was as it roared past me.

I get the F22s near my place every now and then. Those fuckers make an F16 look like a Sopwith Camel piloted by Snoopy's retarded bird.

Props to you for reporting him. Too low is too low, especially near a heavily populated area, regardless of the reason.

It's amazing how wrong people can be about calculating altitude of planes. The guy may also have a valid reason for being low if he was low. No reason to get worked up and pissed about it report it and move on.

If he has a valid reason for it he can tell his side to the FAA when they call him.

Got another argument, Captain Know-It-All?
