cocheese 0 #1 November 20, 2005 I love the fly-by from the jump planes or any planes.Seems to be the pilot's way of swooping and having fun too. Low, fast, and swoopy please.Real Men of Genius: Mr Fly-by Pilot Guy...You put in a long day and at the end of it you get your kicks by scaring the bejesus out of old lady spectators and even a few skygods.Chorus: Scaring the BejeeeeeeezusNow crack open a beer and look back at your last fly-by. Knowing it was you who gave goose bumps to a 100 people and even a few geese. Mr Fly-by pilot guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As he hit the spectator area he pulled back on the stick & hit afterburner. When the boom sounded and the flames spewed out there were spectators, trash cans and small dogs everywhere. He then did victory rolls until he was out of sight. The airport manager came out of his hut wondering what exploded. Now THATS A FLYBY.
