If he had a valid reason or was actually within limit, I don't need another argument, the dude was in the right. Whiner, watch out for those scary little planes, they are out to get you and your neighbors.

There's a reason for the minimums above populated areas (mainly room to recover if shit goes wrong). I'd be a whole lot less worried (and way more interested ) in air force planes flying low and slow over my house than some random private pilot.

While in Savannah during my EMT schooling, my hotel was right next to the runway for Hunter Army Airfield. It never got the fighter jets but it got some badass C5s and C-17s coming in and leaving. Those planes are just so fucking sexy and beastly. The also reminded my hotel walls who daddy was as it roared past me.

I get the F22s near my place every now and then. Those fuckers make an F16 look like a Sopwith Camel piloted by Snoopy's retarded bird.

Props to you for reporting him. Too low is too low, especially near a heavily populated area, regardless of the reason.

She said "props", and nobody noticed except me.

See above.

Some interesting things about this thread;

Lee apparently lacks the right to be pissed about low flying planes repeatedly buzzing his house.

Trip apparently thinks he is the only person in the world who can judge altitude.

Smittie masturbates to military aircraft.
