to continulously fly his private aircraft over our cul de sac in circles, getting lower and lower. 12-15 times, at least. Eventually got to what must have been just a couple of hundred feet when he straightened it up and buzzed over our houses while cutting way back on power and scaring the crap out of kids and some of the parents outside.
Guy was low enough we caught a clear view of his number and snapped a picture of it. We have his registration info, including name and address thanks to the FAA online registry. I sent the info and pic to the Atlanta field office of flight standards. Any private pilots here? Do you think they will do anything to this shmuck? Alot of us are pretty pissed - had this guy lost control or power he could have easily killed someone or a whole family had he crashed into a house or yard. Lots of people were outside yesterday doing stuff around their homes. |

or another someone shooting aerial photos for a company. This is pretty typical and if they had a filed flight plan to do it, your complaint means shit. Just sounds like he was flying slow and not making a lot of racket. Usually people get pissed off cause they crank the motor up and making noise.
