I once saw a B-17 do a really good imitation of the North, by North
West scene :-)) and I've seen the video tape shot from the ground.

Now THAT was a buzz job! An IMPRESSIVE buzz job!
He may not have been as fast as the P-51, but he sure was *big* and
*loud*.

Big and loud is good.
Fish Salmon had a great buzz job once on Okinawa while flying solo
position with the Thunderbirds. You can't go mach 1 in the U.S during a
show for obvious reasons, but nobody said anything about Okinawa!
Fish brought his F100 in from the ocean during his opening pass at the
Thunderbird's show there sneaking in at about 50 feet in max AB going
super just as he passed right over the crowd from the blind side.
The TB alum STILL talk about that pass whenever the old timers get
together at an O Club somewhere to share a few........memories! :-)

This is all kid stuff. Col. Robert Morgan did a knife edge with the
Memphis Belle B-17 between the City Building and Courthouse in Asheville,
NC, his hometown. A whistleblower in the City Building reported the
incident and soon found that he had made a big mistake for tattling on the
war hero.
