What's buzzing? I've heard it's some kind of a feel-good maneuver..
Flying very low at relatively high speed. For a typical "buzz job", you would
dive at the object you wanted to buzz, level off a few feet above the highest
point there, fly over it, and climb rapidly. It's a dangerous maneuver due to
the risk of getting too low and hitting something and the risk that you might
get distracted during the climb out, let the speed bleed off too far, and stall.
Many of the idiots who kill themselves buzzing pull back real
hard and get an accelerated stall and snap-roll into the ground. Seems
to be some shortcoming in their training and/or understanding of angle
of attack.
Only two types of pilots do buzz jobs; 1) professionals who are practicing or
getting paid to do low level aerobatics, and 2) fools.
Yup.
