They certainly get far less time to try and avoid the inhabited homes, that they're flying over.

If you lived next to a MotoGp track, would you therefore be ok with the local squids doing 100mph wheelies in your neighborhood?

The guy wasn't buzzing the tower, he was flying low (if we take his word on this) and slow.

I find it amusing two of the biggest whiners on the board are in here pointing fingers on a situation they weren't there to experience.

So do I. I'm obviously exaggerating. As were my next door neighbors. And the people across the street from them. And 2 houses down. And 3 houses down. And across the street from them. And.....

Yep. We all were pissed for absolutely no good reason.

It's amazing how wrong people can be about calculating altitude of planes. The guy may also have a valid reason for being low if he was low. No reason to get worked up and pissed about it report it and move on.

If he has a valid reason for it he can tell his side to the FAA when they call him.

Got another argument, Captain Know-It-All?
