FAA reviewing football fly-over

A 17-year-old Hopewell High student was apparently acting on a dare
when he did a fly-over prank at a Hopewell High football game Friday,
at one point dipping below the stadium lights.........

Because we fly, we envy no one.

Met a college prof back in the sixties. Real ball of fire. Believed in
"living life NOW!!"

He bought himself an F8F Bearcat and tried to fly the wings off of it,
buzzing everything in sight. I remember he did a REAL job on the Yale
Bowl in 67 if I remember the year right.
He finally put it in one day on a cross country no less. I think he was
on his way up to Cornell to give a lecture.

Buzz jobs are generally bad news; aside from the regulations issues,
they are usually performed by pilots not used to the visual cues
experienced at extreme low altitude flying, especially with the airplane
at maximum performance. There's trouble in this venue for the uninitiated.

Most pilots get the "urge" on occasion and suppress it. I highly
recommend doing that.

This having been said, I should admit to owning what is probably the
most widely publicized buzz job ever performed in a Mustang, so even I
wasn't immune. :-))
