What's buzzing? I've heard it's some kind of a feel-good maneuver..

I was at a cocktail party / family reunion (not my family!) where the
old guy reminisced about the hostess's uncle who knocked a brick off
the chimney of the family house, buzzing it with a P-51 in 1945 or
thereabouts.

*That's* buzzing!

NAH! Buzzing is taking a P51 up a country road at 8AM on a Sunday morning
at 60 inches and 3000RPM so low that the prop tips are almost leaving a
swath through the pine tree tops, then overflying a church and cemetery at
50 feet; then pulling it off the deck into a climbing slow roll,
disappearing in a hurry before some sharp eyed character down there had
time to get the numbers.
Then after you've managed to scare the hell out of half of the
congregation at the Haywood Baptist Church in Haywood Virginia that Sunday
morning, Reader's Digest comes along and gets another 23 million people in
17 languages, Braille, and large print, to sit on their butts on their
toilets all over the world (that's where everybody keeps Reader's Digest I
think) and read all about it without you getting arrested.
Now THAT'S buzzing!!! :-)
