A buzz job done wrong is what killed Randy Rhoads; the pilot of the plane, who was also the tour bus driver, had decided to take him and a makeup artist a ride, and he started buzzing the bus where Ozzy, and some other people, were still sleeping. In the third buzz, he ended up hitting with a wing against the bus, which sent the jet careening out of control into a garage nearby, killing everyone. Later it was found out that the pilot had been tested positive for cocaine. He even does this multiple times in the sequel, whether it be flying an experimental jet over the vehicle of the Admiral tasked with shutting down his team's test program, or spooking off his students by flying his F/A-18E Super Hornet right in between theirs during their dogfighting exercise. He does get to buzz the tower at the end of the movie, with the F-14 Tomcat he and his co-pilot stole from the enemy. As I mentioned it was a holiday weekend and Colonel Lonnie met us when we pulled in the hangar after we landed which was the normal procedure. I thought well that’s nice that he came out. As I came down the ladder from the aircraft, he looked at me and he said Maury, do we have any regulations that say we can’t make approaches at Sacramento Airport? I said No sir. In Banco, Papillon's Ace Pilot friend Carotte gets revenge for being tossed out of a brothel by dive bombing the place so that the cheap roofing gets ripped off in his wake, exposing the whores and their clients. Another time he banks the plane dangerously low just to scare a woman using her garden as a toilet.

A British RAF pilot did this to a highway in Scotland with a Hercules transport plane in June 2012. Baloo is known to do this literally, using his propeller to trim hedges at times, as seen in the show's opening, upside-down, no less. Star Trek Online. Episode "Cardassian Struggle", mission "Rapier". After exiting the Bajoran wormhole you can buzz Ops on Deep Space 9. This grants an accolade titled "That's a Negative Ghost Rider, The Pattern Is Full". Alexander Bonnyman was a marine who initially joined the Army Air Corps, but washed out after buzzing too many towers. Andor: On Aldhani, TIE Fighter pilots are known to pilot their TI Es low to the ground to disturb and harass the local indigenous population. One of them even buzzes Cassian Andor and the Aldhani crew when they are simply minding their own business.One pilot buzzes ships on a French canal, forcing a barge to crash and a smaller boat to capsize. this is so that he can perform the feat of flying underneath a bridge, with feet to spare on all sides. He boasts about this and browbeats another pilot into doing the same. Unfortunately it has rained a lot since the successful feat and the river level has risen. so when the second pilot attempts to fly under the bridge... There's a beach in the Caribbean that's now become a tourist attraction thanks to this trope. The aircraft are actually coming in to land, but while doing so they fly very low over a public beach. It was a perfect day. We had made several passes in the country, and the airplane felt good," John Marshall said. Native of California, Maury Rosenberg graduated Northrop University, 1964 with a Bachelor of Science in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Graduated USC, 1975, with a Master of Science in Systems Management Engineering.

Orks are well known for this; it's how they land (landing gear is for sissies). Deff Skwadron takes this a little further than most: When their entire skwadron is undergoing maintenance when they're needed in a fight, they simply turn the planes into impromptu jetbikes.Not to be confused with a Traumatic Haircut, which is sometimes called a "buzz cut" (or "buzz job"). He served 11 months in Vietnam at Cam Ranh Bay, flying 220 combat sorties, 69 of which were over North Vietnam. He was then assigned to Yokota AB Japan for a 3-yer tour. Rosenberg was selected for F-4 Wild Weasel training, serving final year in Japan in the 80th Wild Weasel Fighter Squadron. He then served at Nellis AFB for a 30-month tour. While stationed at Nellis he served as a Wild Weasel instructor pilot and completed and graduated from the Air Force’s Fighter Weapons School. Last 10 months at Nellis AFB, Captain Rosenberg served as an instructor in both the Fighter Weapons School, and Wild Weasel School and flew flight test and evaluation in the 22nd Operational Test & Evaluation Squadron. At one point during Blue Angels shows the audience will be focused on the main group, while the two solo jets each make a low pass right over them, demonstrating how the F-18 Hornet can be on top of a target before they hear them. If you want to know who was buzzing the tower in Top Gun, it was this guy, Scott Altman, Navy Captain and astronaut. He noted in an interview once that buzzing a control tower would usually cost a pilot his wings, but since the director wanted nine different takes of that scene, he got to buzz the tower nine times!

Guard of Honor: Gen. Beal, commander of an Army Air Force base in 1943 Florida, shows his racism when he tells a story about how one of his men "buzzed the n***r picnic" and scared some "colored women." He can't help but be proud of his pilot's skill.

Examples:

Lees) chartered the helicopter from another airport, landed at Coventry, where his actions effectively closed it down, then flew toward the control tower. Sort of in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, as Lt. Lawson isn't trying to scare anybody with his B-25 bomber. But he does fly it under the San Francisco Bay Bridge on a dare. The B-25, named "Carol Jean," which appeared in the movie "Catch- 22" as "Luscious Lulu," was received eagerly by officials at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. As plane-spotters or people who live close to airports can tell you, a milder version of this trope can often take place when under certain wind conditions aircraft must take off from a runway usually used to land... causing them to fly over houses when they're still climbing with their engines at full throttle. Even if they already are at a height of several hundred feet, if not more, the effect is quite dramatic -and twice or more noisier- for big planes as a Boeing 747 or an Airbus A340. note Of course, the inverse (flying over on final approach to land) falls under this trope too, even if noise levels are much lower as engines are on low throttle during landing,

Any aircraft model actually deployed on the board is doing this. Even dive-bombers would normally only spend a very short time so close to their targets, and most aircraft are at least partly fighters or even spaceships. Being so low and slow that they can be represented on the board and shot at by ground troops is extremely unusual. Obviously this is a case where Rule of Cool overrides the lore, since otherwise players wouldn't get to play with their cool planes. Hovering close to it, he announced over the radio, "you are going to see the very worst of my flying", then started to circle. Batman: Vengeance has the Batwing do this while chasing Mr. Freeze's helicopter. Batman has to fly very, very low to the ground through Gotham's expressways on an incredibly busy night. There are lots of dashboard camera clips on YouTube showing airplanes and helicopters intentionally or unintentionally buzzing roadways. Not a control tower, but how about the press box of a university football stadium... while a game was being played.The Red Baron begins with Richtofen and his wing buzzing the funeral of a British pilot so he could drop a memorial wreath. Baloo got buzzed himself once in flight and was not happy about it, especially when he found out who he'd just been buzzed by, Ace London. Cannon: In "A Flight of Hawks", Woodman, the leader of a band of Private Military Contractors, repeatedly buzzes Belmont's jeep as as he is trying to escape the compound; eventually forcing him of the road. Seems a long time since we had enemies we could trust! The Cold War was real: a long, bi-polar stand-off stretching from the end of the Second World War until 1989– when the time was right for The Wall to be taken down.It was a time fraught with real uncertainty and both real and perceived risks affecting the entire world under the sword of nuclear deterrence. The period was really a measure of why the RCAF and Canadian Army were stationed at bases and casernes across Western Europe.After all the sacrifices of the Second World War, we had to continue our air and ground presence and readiness to swiftly counter the Eastern Bloc nuclear and conventional threat.
