question... what sort of occasion would it take to allow those f-18's & 14's to make those high speed low alt fly byes?

I imagine those are otherwise taboo- ?

Theres only one pre-req.  Late 1980's, a hot shot pile-it around 5 foot 6 inches tall, and an air traffic controller with a hot cop of coffee.....DUH!

That's exactly the sort of loser comment a bomber pilot would make...  Sort of like saying it's not who wins or loses, it's if you tried your best.

Uh... no.  Winning does matter, and there are two kinds of aircraft, fighters and targets.

:p

DYNAMITE,  

  I'm pretty sure the Navy does these as a morale booster and to show new crewmen what a supersonic flyby looks like.  Any Navy boys or girls know for certain?
