Posted for "Mark Ravinski" <mjrav@comcast.net>:

  I've done my share.
  Generally,out of one million people observing  - only one complains.
  Once at a fly in where FAA controllers were present, I was a little more
discriminating.
  Tower came back "Is that the best you can do"  -- I had to do another.
  
  At 300ft and 100 kts, dirty, you are not at a point from which to land on 
the
field in the event of a problem.
  You are also a sitting duck in any traffic conflict.
  
  I have learned to ask before doing this at unfamiliar fields.  Some places
are struggling with noise or other issues.
