I come from a background of aviation and I do think jets are interesting and all, I am more just saying this seemed crazier than what I've seen in other flyovers, and I'm unsure why they approved it to be so low and fast (and therefore loud). I'm sure it was on record and I've now seen it reported in many articles, but I didn't see that beforehand and it was unexpected. I don't have to have "psychic powers" to come home and find my cat terrified and jumpy, and I don't have to poll my whole neighborhood to see many other startled people on the street with me didn't exactly appreciate it.

I appreciate jets and all, I come from a background in the aviation/aerospace industry. I know it was planned and on record, but I just don't understand why it needed to be so low and fast. It seemed a bit much from someone who has seen many other flyovers. I don't need to have "psychic powers" to come home minutes later and find my cat shaking, or poll my neighborhood as many others out and about were visibly upset and confused. This just shouldn't be something that's done this way.

Military pilots do it all the time. Usually it's just drawing dicks in the sky with their flight patterns, but once in a (fortunately) long while it's actually something dangerous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Cavalese_cable_car_crash

But you only ever heard about the times that it ends in disaster.
