Hi Diva...
Why are flyby's not allowed......good question.
You might enjoy SAMWolfs or Flyvet's comments on this one.
My take on it is from the response during WW-2....the military did not like the pilot thinking it was his plane to play with.....sort of.."Its Government property...Dammit"!

A open flight window[Unannounced and unconfirmed] past a carrier is a violation of launch and recovery protocals..the planes movement near the carriers deck could cause a bystander to move from the sudden event and find oneself in danger or overboard...
Finally...the carrier commander knows that his GE TOASTER spontainiously catches fire at home....
GE..[General Electric] make the engines for the U.S. carrier jets....giggle!

Hi LBGA so good to see you. Thank you for your prayers for this soldiers family.I know you pray for the troops daily and I thank you for your wonderful support of our military. Love seeing you my friend.

That and it's a potential risk of an expesively trained pilot and plane.

Thanks for the info, LS. Well I guess it's understandable since I'm sure those planes must cost a fortune. But I think the pilots will not intentionally try to damage their planes. I think that they develop some sense of attachment or ownership if you will to their planes. Right? Like the captains of the ships.....something akin to owning a car - I have an old one but I can't imagine letting it go even if I can afford to buy a new one. It will always be my baby. I think fly-bys are still cool though. I would love to see one someday.
