Flying very low at relatively high speed.

So Super Cubs and the likes are exempt from 'buzzing' due to lack of high
speed.
The key word is "relatively". :-))

I guess that depends on how you look at it. You just have to get
lower, but watch out for the clothesline when flying between the
garage and house.


For a typical "buzz job", you would dive at the object you wanted to buzz,
level off a few feet above the highest point there, fly over it, and climb
rapidly.

There is a reason they call the old "butch haircut" a buzz job.


So if I'm just flying along level, with out diving, and fly over your head
by just a few feet, and continue on without climbing, that is not buzzing?

I would have thought it was. Just food for thought.

A couple Summers back, my wife and I were working out in the front
yard when we heard someone talking to us. No one in the yard. Looked
up and there was a Cub about 5 to 10 feet over the trees with the
power off. As he glided out of site behind the house we heard the
power come back up.
