Well, if it is any consolation, Kevy, we definitely noticed. :)

Considering how low the plane was flying, we probably could have passed you a corn dog.

That was my gut reaction reading MBC's thread. I thought, 'I wonder if Kevy... nah, couldn't be.'

To clarify: no one at MIRAMAR noticed

That's why I made the second pass - I was hoping someone would!

MBC- don't encourage him- he's just doing it for attention!

This is one of those things that people say constantly because everyone else says it. I have seen and heard aircraft fly over DL since 9/11 a few times, including but not limited to military aircraft. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

I was bored, so I drove down to Miramar, stole a jet, read the manual on how to fly it (I have never flown a plane before), flew all around Southern California (including my beloved Disneyland - it's really cool from the sky) and then returned the jet when I had to pee.

Somehow, nobody noticed.

did you notice when i mooned you?:D

The area above Disneyland IS a no-fly-zone although there seems to be a bit of contention as to the need and reason behind that.

As for the flights, of course the "no-fly" edict is for commercial aircraft and not military fly-boys. In this case I would have to guess "joy ride". If you were a cocky fighter pilot (that's a given for fighter pilots) on a flight path that took you near Disneyland wouldn't you be tempted to buzz the place for a good look? Try to get the tail number it it happens again :)

It's possible it was an "interdiction" of a civilian aircraft that got too close but I REALLY doubt the area is that closely monitored. I base that opinion on the fact that here in DC we have had a many cases of planes flying OVER/near the Whitehouse before and after 9-11. In each case they were intercepted only after the event in most cases by a polite radio message to land at a specific airport and come talk to the nice gentlemen in suites.

Yes...

And I was going to mention that corndogs aren't supposed to go there. At least not in public.
