One of my buddies dad's flew B-52s in the 60s. They had to build time as pilots, so the Air Force sent them out to fly around wherever, day and night.
He said they were all bored 20 something guys flying this monster big aircraft around in the middle of nowhere, TX. At night they could see a lone pair of headlights going along a road, and they would drop down to 100 feet, and turn on all the lights, and fly right over the top of the poor farmer driving down some farm road. They all laughed and really enjoyed watching the farmer drive off into the desert from the fright of a B-52 flying right over.
He said years later as an old man he felt bad about it, but it was funny at the time.
