Suggestion (crowner 10/21/16): Buzzing The Deck

~Tallens suggested the following for Buzzing the Deck:

• The Red Baron buzzing Snoopy and the gang◊ from The Peanuts Movie
• The Wonderbolts buzzing giant Spike◊ from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
• F-14 flyby: 1◊, 2◊

Thoughts?

Can't tell what's happening in the two first. Of the two latter, the first is better.

Another suggestion: [1]◊

Also found a thread with a lot of pics. A few good ones: [2], [3], [4], [5].

Check out my fanfiction!

I prefer the F-14 pics in the OP, leaning toward the second.

That first one looks like a bad Photoshop paste; of the others, I like the second best.

I like both of the F-14 pictures (leaning on the second one).

EDIT: Scratch that, I like 2.2 the best

2.2 FTW

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

2.2. Is the aircraft a B-17G?

(Annoyed grunt)

The text to the pictures says, "Modern day photographer Murray Mitchell captured this action shot super low B-17 Flying Fortress performing for a film crew and followed by a P-51D Mustang and a P-47 Thunderbolt."

It's also one of my favourites.

I don't get the critical "with the intent to startle or frighten" from any of the suggestions (except 1.1). We running the risk of inviting listings of merely "dangerously low flying vehicles".

I can't get a good hi-res shot of the Millennium Falcon flying by the bridge of the Star Destroyer in Empire...if anyone can get a good shot of that, that might work.

Can you provide the time code? Didn't find the scene.

It isn't like the pilot's thoughts on the matter are ever going to be in any way visible in a picture of a plane.

And there isn't any practical reason to intentionally fly that low except to show off, so unless the supposed risk of misuse is planes about to crash I don't see it happening.

2.2

I tried looking for the shot of the Falcon buzzing the Star Destroyer once. There was so much motion blur you could barely see it.

2.2. looks like the plane just got off the ground.

That's not bad.

There's this from the Tale Spin intro, if someone can find a higher-quality version.

That's a contender.

"Just a little off the top, please."

"Good for flying cargo, and trimming hedges."

"Don't Try This at Home."

Crowner's hooked. I didn't include the very first option in 2 because of the weird boxing in it, so the numbering starts with the ones after it.

Gotta say I'm really not a fan of the Tale Spin example because of the poor perspective animation on that wing.

Votes bump...need to fix the title, the crowner icon doesn't work because I screwed up the first one.

Oh crap, this should've gotten a votes bump a looooong time back...doing so now.

Is there a reason why the crowner tag is not showing up?

I accidentally locked the first crowner I made before anything was put into it...putting a second crowner into a thread doesn't trigger the icon.

Finally calling this one. The new pic's up and tagged and the rest are on the Image Links page. Caption?
