Broadcast reports in Houston say a pilot buzzed the beach in Galveston County recently. According to KHOU's Jeremy Desel:

    The Federal Aviation Administration confirms that it is investigating the incident after receiving a number of complaints, including one from the Galveston County Sheriff's Office. It is a federal violation to operate a plane lower than 1,000 feet in a populated area.

Eric Nunez tells the station:

    "He actually went beside a couple of Jeeps with his wings I'd say less than 10 feet. It got my attention. Some people hit the ground. Nobody knew what to expect."

KHOU also reports that the plane's owner is in Beaumont.

Hehe, it makes for a fun video, but obviously it's entirely irresponsible and reckless.  Hopefully they find out who did it and revoke their pilot's license.

That was way more than 10 feet.  BTW, Why were all those trucks on the beach?

State of the guy filmming  ...no wonder his car is a bit worse for wear....filmming behind him while driving...and they are all worried about a low flying plane.. ...

oh and by the way,,,that was a reconnaissance mission...we were looking for our sheep and had intel that the rooks were trying to woo them at the beach. turns out they were just a bunch of inflatable sheep and it was a training camp....

I just read a story this morning about a guy that got hit by a plane while jogging on the beach, it said he had his IPod on and never heard it coming.

Crystal Beach aka "The Red Neck Riviera", i haven't been out there in years because the morons that have managed to avoid winning the Darwin award that flock to that place.

Thought you were going to have pics or a vid of the B17, Jug or one of the otherplanes from the Air Museum low over the water, always a cool site.

In another incident a guy jogging on the beach at hilton head SC got hit and killed by a plane doing an emergency landing.

Granted it was completely against FAA regs, but if they think that was dangerous and they were going to die, they would have pooped their pants when 2 Navy jet trainers buzzed us at Lake Texhoma on 4th of July a couple years ago. Those guys put on a great show for about 5 minutes before they bugged out.

Had a T6 Texan buzz us a few times on Ray Roberts, gave us the wing waggle and everything. Not as cool as jets but it made my day.

My mom and dad got Buzzed by a B1 near Roswell NM, dad said it was one of the coolest thing he has ever seen.

Long ago we used to go out on sail boats near P'cola and the Florabama bar and watch all the the low alt over water navy jet trainers and Blue Angels.
