I’ve been witness to military aircraft flying over my head so low I could see the squadron decal on the pilot’s helmet. Doesn’t bother me, but rules are rules and I believe the rule is 1000 feet over civilians.
some rules are made to be broken
I was at the Columbine high school memorial service. During the service we had a flyover in the missing man formation.
The plane that came around behind and over the crowd was quite low and screaming. Something I will never forget (and I doubt there was a pair of clean shorts in the entire crowd).
The planes are amazing machines when they fly over low and fast! (Of course amazing any time, just we ground limited people dont get to see them in action often enough). I think 1000 ft is a stupid rule. If the plane is going to crash at an inopportune time, is there really a difference between 900 and 1100 feet?
