Flying over the runway is illegal?

Important words above... OVER Every place that isn't OVER a
town, city, settlement or crowd is by the above list
SPARSELY and I'm pretty sure Puget Sound has lots of water.

Do you even bother to read the posts to which you reply? Or are you saying
that you don't believe what I wrote?

I specifically wrote exactly the interpretation that the FAA is using here,
and it isn't anywhere *close* to the interpretation you'd like it to be. In
particular, the person who was cited by the FAA for violation of 91.119 was
NOT over "a town, city, settlement, or crowd" and yet was found to NOT be
flying over a "sparsely populated area".

As far as "I'm pretty sure Puget Sound has lots of water" goes, that's fine,
but nothing that I wrote pertained to flight over water. The question is
what constitutes a "sparsely populated area", and in the Puget Sound region,
there is NO place that meets that description, according to our local FSDO.
