What's buzzing? I've heard it's some kind of a feel-good maneuver..

I was at a cocktail party / family reunion (not my family!) where the
old guy reminisced about the hostess's uncle who knocked a brick off
the chimney of the family house, buzzing it with a P-51 in 1945 or
thereabouts.

*That's* buzzing!

NAH! Buzzing is taking a P51 up a country road at 8AM on a Sunday
morning at 60 inches and 3000RPM so low that the prop tips are almost
leaving a swath through the pine tree tops, then overflying a church and
cemetery at 50 feet; then pulling it off the deck into a climbing slow
roll, disappearing in a hurry before some sharp eyed character down
there had time to get the numbers.
Then after you've managed to scare the hell out of half of the
congregation at the Haywood Baptist Church in Haywood Virginia that
Sunday morning, Reader's Digest comes along and gets another 23 million
people in 17 languages, Braille, and large print, to sit on their butts
on their toilets all over the world (that's where everybody keeps
Reader's Digest I think) and read all about it without you getting
arrested.
Now THAT'S buzzing!!! :-)
