Buzz Ups

Just wondering how many of us here admit to doing buzz ups?
Anyone got any interesting stories

The nearest I've seen is someone practicing asymetric go arounds, couldn't hold it and went straight over the 'live' side of the airfield at about 100'. Ooo! You should 'ave 'eard the R/T exchange that followed!

I suppose the blades flying around the place would do your hair-trimming a treat!

Hey, AB, you're not old enough to remember that sort of Wasp.

SSD - I don't need to be old when there's a swarm of them at my place of work.

I guess the answer to that one would be no.

Especially as no one really knows what Ronnie is talking about - must be an Irish term!
(I presume he means low flypasts of the airfield/tower/flying club)

Perhaps if Ronnie can't be bothered to come back & explain his term, then he wouldn't be interested in reading this accident report from the USA

Don't think it's an Irish term. Or if it is, I haven't been informed of it!

By buzz ups I meant what foxmouth alluded to; low flypasts... all within the boundaries of safety, of course. I presumed (foolishly) that it was a common enough term within flying circles, I was wrong. For that I am eternaly sorry

DubTrub the reason I didnt "bother" to reply is that im currently in the middle of my exams and I have not had access to a computer for quite a while. I didnt realise my lack of a speedy response would get so much sand in your vagina. Again I apoligise profusely and hope that some day you can come to terms with the grief.
