Honestly, this stuff doesn't impress me. It just confirms that the pilot was a knucklehead. I come away with what's probably a very different viewpoint of the piloting and judgement skills of the pilot than he anticipated.

It's not a Caf bird. It's privately owned at the private strip that he owns... Don't know who the pilot was, but if you own your own, c47, Howard 500, b-25, and a 4000+' private strip with 150x150 hangar I suspect you can buzz your own property as much as you want.
I don't think I would do it, but if I had those toys I might be willing.
Trixie and I have been there and although there were no flybys that day it was a good time.

Anybody remember reading "Yeager"? Seem to recall there was an episode where he was experimenting with ground effects in his P-51, came back on horseback and could see prop strike marks in the sand. Good reading.
