I must say I was very impressed when a C130 did a very-low-level fly past over our college hall on graduation day after putting on a parachutist display; fantastically manuevuerable (spelling yes I know) as the turn towards the marque had at least 60º of bank and going like the clappers!

Not so impressed were my fellow members at the gliding club who didn't know about the fly-past as it wasn't NOTAM'd and saw it thunder over the hangar! Mercifully no-one was in the air at the time. The night before a DC3 stormed over at about 70ft; our ex-cfi saw its top-side while on finals (i.e. low). Wish I'd been there to see that one. Oh yes, that wasn't notam'd either...
