"Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby"
Six pilots who participated in a pregame flyover before last November's Iowa-Ohio State game in Iowa City — a show that prompted many, many YouTube tributes— have been officially reprimanded by the Air Force for flying too low and too fast over Kinnick Stadium. Specifically, four Talon T-38 Trainer jets cleared the press box by all of 16 feet at 400 knots (the speed limit for flyovers is 300 knots), a daredevil effort that has cost the lead pilot his right to fly military aircraft.[Associated Press]

The Marines would have dropped bombs on those pansy-ass Big Ten schools and received medals for their intrepidity.
Go Frogs.
Uh, that's a negative Ghostrider.
Pffftht when I flew military jets I'd fly way lower than that.
The Marines don't have anything that will go 400 knots.
Pow zing
go eat a donut Jarhead
Great, now they'll fly slower so when they collide into each other or suck a goose into the intake they'll crash in a flaming ball of fiery flames directly into the stadium instead of having the momentum to carry them over to the parking lot.
Real smart.
Carole: Hey, Goose, you big stud!
Goose: That's me, honey.
Carole: Take me to bed or lose me forever.
Goose: Show me the way home, honey.
Slider: Goose, whose butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.
Talon is kind of a wicked sounding name for a trainer airplane.
16 feet? It's not like they clipped the scoreboard or something.
"We're in the pipe 5 by 5."
"Maverick? It's time for some of that fancy pilot s##t!"
After this video runs, look at some of the others.
One is a fly by at TCU - if the plane had been any lower, the goal post would have sheared off the wings.
Another one has a guy standing in the middle of a runway. The jet has a fuel tank mounted on the belly that missed the guy's head by inches - the guy didn't even flinch.
Jed Eckert: How did you get shot down, Colonel?
Col. Andy Tanner: It was five to one. I got four
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified
We're going ballistic man.
Pucker time!
My Other Brother Darryl
That's a lot more than 16 feet of clearance.
Kilgore: Lieutenant, bomb that tree line about 100 yards back! Give me some room to breathe!
That retarded girl below is still freaking me out.
