Pilots 'Buzzing'?
I have been hearing this word quite a bit at my local strip in reference to a pilot there. I'm assuming it is in reference to pilots flying close the ground, making potentially stupid/dangerous maneuvers and generally disregarding saftey rules!
So the confident young PPL guy at my strip who likes to fly fast and low approaches and chuck the aircraft around over York and surrounding areas is Buzzing?

Allegedly a 'gay icon' - so if that's what you think is the 'best film in the world', that's your opinion....
'Buzzing' seems to be an Americanization wordwise. But anyone behaving in the manner you describe will soon have another description -
A statistic.
Leave 'fast and low' to those trained for it!

A friend of mine was accused of 'beating up' the airfield when in fact he'd gone around from very short final because he'd forgotten to slow to approach speed, lower the gear and alter prop pitch. A nice Chandelle onto downwind and he got it all sorted out. Easily done. Done it myself.
