Take "aviation" out of that question and you might start to have an answer.

Wow. I had heard a rumor that a pilot at some point in time was FNAEBed and shown the door for a, shall we say, overzealous flyover at Navy/MC Stadium. Didn't know if that was footage of the aforementioned event, but in today's climate I'm surprised he got away with it.I actually have met that guy a number of times. I sit near his classmates at Navy Football games, and he usually swings by to say hello to them. He told me that it was one of his last flights before he retired, and when he switched back up to approach he said "so who am I supposed to call?" He also said that surprisingly, no one seemed to care. Nothing happened to him.

A common theme i'm noticing with these videos of low-flying military aircraft:
They are all French.
Are foreign military pilots the only ones who can get away with doing this stuff? Or are they the only ones who tape it? Seems like American aviators have waaay more restrictions placed on them WRT low level flying. Is this because of mishaps in the past and the whole "this is why you can't have nice things" reaction?
I asked my roommate last deployment (a Hornet guy). The answer is one word: Tactics.Maybe it's because "we" have wars to fight, and thus a purpose, whereas the neutral Swiss and the French, have nothing better to do than the Lugano Air Show...
