This one was pretty low, it was over Georgia Tech's stadium in downtown ATL...
... and the Navy responded with Pilots grounded for good after low flyover - Navy News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times
But if the Navy did that with the GT game what about that Navy game or was the because Annapolis isn't in the middle of a downtown?
But none of those are really that low, compared to this one below which not to spoil it but in case you don't hit play it's a Spitfire buzzing a reporter and you can try your hardest but that Spitfire had to be 5' off the deck for a long while because you won't see it coming.
But not to be outdone..
And to keep on topic, GO DELTA!

NORFOLK, Va. — Two F/A-18E Super Hornet pilots from Strike Fighter Squadron 136 have been permanently grounded for flying too low before a Georgia Tech football game Nov. 7, according to a source.

So when they get struck by lighting, do they just disappear back in time? Makes sense, I mean look at this old picture from 1968! A DC-9 NO LESS!
Newk if you're ever struck just remember, bet big on the Steelers and Secretariat and stop the RJ revolution!

See, I could have been the screen writer for LOST. Build up to this awesome climax and then when you realize you never actually had a point you just pass gas on the finale and see if people liked it.

Boeing hasn't just dropped the ball WRT their fairy tail 797, they've been staring at it til the whistle almost blew, the other team walked up and asked them if they wanted it, they looked down on it with indifference and said "meh" so the other team casually picked it up and started skipping into the endzone.
Boeing could care less about the narrowbody market. They want foreign widebody revenue and self printing defense slush money. Anything else is beneath them. Sure they will eventually build and sell a 73 replacement, but they will be creamed by Airbus's refreshed 30 year old design and ambitious efforts from every corner of the world and Boeing won't really care.
