reality and common sense doesn't support your position, start quoting

What part of "reality and common sense" supports your position that high
speed low altitude flying is:
1) not hazardous?
2) approved by regulations?
3) condoned by your insurance agent?
Gee,
the Navy has a reg prohibiting flat-hatting. It also has regs
prohibiting rolling in on golf courses but anyone that went thru Beeville in
the late 60's did that on his first solo. Jeff, if you went arount
preaching that stuff when you were in your squadron, you must have been a real
popular guy.
I wasn't in it to be popular and my opinions posted here are not intended
to be "popular" but rather inform some of the audience that what others pass off
as great fun is rather hazardous to one's flying health. Statistic do not lie.
1/3 of all Navy/ Marine Corps/ Air Force losses are controlled flight into
terrain.
As
far as the FAA regs are concerned, I have flown both low passes and overhead
breaks at civilian airports and have never violated any of the rules you
quoted.
I take it from paragraph two that you violated the "no buzzing the golf
course" rule. ;)
Reagards,
Jeff
