Buzzing

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!

(If true.)

I guess you have never seen that old Saturday night Live routine
about the Bad News Bees at summer camp at night "buzzing off" with the
aid of a copy of Play-Bee magazine for that "feel good feeling"

Buzzing is a maneuver where, in an effort to impress oneself or one's
friends, an idiot pilot crashes into a house.

Hey, I've got a chimney I'm not using...send him this way, wouldja? :

My grandfather's aircrew received a brand new B-17 on their way to the ETO
(via Greenland...it was taken from them in Scotland and became Outhouse
Mouse) and buzzed the pilot or copilot's farm. The propwash blew chickens
helter skelter and knocked over the grain silo.

That's when I cut my hair real short. You ask a lot of questions, some
suspiciously troll-like. Like this one.

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.
Only two types of pilots do buzz jobs; 1) professionals who are practicing or
getting paid to do low level aerobatics, and 2) fools.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

It's the manuever that male pilots apply to their female companions by
buzzing to provide good feelings...

At the hearing to revoke the pilot's certificates, it would be referred to
as "unwarranted low flying."
