Oops is now a spectator term

So, you're standing on your balcony just chilling, when...
A Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet crew got permission for a low-level demonstration flight as part of the opening ceremony for a speedboat race on the Detroit River last weekend, and this is what it looked like for Motor City residents. A Navy pilot gave a shocked resident a very close look at his F18, as the fighter/bomber streaked past an apartment block on the banks of the Detroit River, part of a tactical demonstration fly-past to open a speedboat race in the city. Officials waived rules to allow the Navy flyers to swoop under 100ft along the waterway.
One resident said: "I couldn't believe how low they flew, and how close they came to our building. I'm sure the pilot waved at me."
The jets had flown in from NAS Oceana in Virginia to put on a spectacular show for thousands of spectators.
