We liked it when Navy F4 Phantoms did that, mainly because it really ticked off the base commander.
It was on a small island in the far south of Japan, the jets would fly between the radar domes and even do touch and go on the barrack’s roof. Heck of a noise.

I once saw a video of a young lady and her beau being, well, umm, naughty. As remarkable as the video was the sound track. So dominated by repeated deafening jet noises that one had to conclude that there were skid marks on the roof of the house. One could not imagine actually living there.

I speculate (without having any possibility actually to know) that the house was on the beach off the end of the north runway at LAX. On Google Earth, you see a neighborhood of beach homes that are now completely gone except for the vestigial streets.

The neighborhood was clearly built before the runway expansions, and maybe also before the jet age. The houses may not have had to be torn down by contractors; I suspect the jets did it by themselves.
