I was in SD a few weeks ago for the Sunday night NFL game. A couple of F-18s did a flyby after the anthem- I wonder if it was one of the same pilots.

I was on another another forum a long time where some guys who claimed to be air force pilots were joking around how they would purposely buzz over residential areas because they thought it was funny. And wasn't there a case in Italy a few years ago and it turned out to be pilot error?
I don't know if anyone knows the facts about this situation, but I wouldn't be so quick to not blame the pilot.
