The 2,000-foot buzz

Posted on February 12, 2008 | Comments Off on The 2,000-foot buzz

Used to be a buzz was when an aircraft flew over a few hundred feet above the ground. So it seems a little silly to call a Russian Tupolev bomber’s overflight of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean a "buzz" when the lumbering, 55-year-old propeller-driven bomber stayed 2,000 feet above the steel beach. Or is it just a wire service’s attempt to embellish a story of the so-called new Cold War?
