As cute and macho as some may think it is because they saw in a corny movie, it is a dangerous and immature stunt with expensive taxpayer equipment that should ground any pilot who does it.

Dangerous and immature was when Richard Bong flew between the buildings in downtown San Francisco while waving to the secretaries in the windows. Dangerous was when he looped his P-38 around the Golden Gate Bridge. Scaring the populace was when his propwash blew a ladies washing off the clothes line and he was ordered to go to her house and do her laundry the next week.

Oh, yes. He went on to be the top ace that the United States ever had, or probably ever will have.
