I really like are the guys who announce that they're "over-flying
the field
at 4500 feet, heading West..."

I hadn't heard that until I started listening to the Fairmont CTAF.
What's the point?

I confess to making that announcement a couple of times, when I was a
newly-minted private pilot, as I passed over my home field. I think
the guys doing it are just so damned proud of their accomplishment
that they want their buds -- or anyone else listening -- to know that
they're "up there"...

It's really just silly.

Just like you.
