We used to have a pilot come buzz our airport is a small aerobatic plane.
Not sure the brand. He had total disregard to any traffic in the area. He
would get down to 20' and run the runway. He would fly over the top of
folks, run head-on to departing aircraft then abruptly turn away, etc.
Our airport enacted an ordinance against high speed flight below pattern
altitude. Well, his antics finally caught up with him. He was doing low
level aerobatics over a marina on a near by lake and he crashed and
killed himself. Luckily he missed anyone on the water or in the marina.
A death well deserved.
We had a AH from around here pull some low-flying crap a month, or so, ago
in Roseville, CA (near Sacramento). Unfortunately, he had a passenger
(who may have been an enabler). They died when they crashed their
"hottie" homebuilt into a home and also killed a totally innocent 19 year
old young man asleep in his bedroom.
