It will all come out in the Review but pilots do go off flight plan on occasion. I remember it was big news in Baton Rouge in the early 90's when emergency crews responded to a reported large explosion with shattered windows in the Sherwood Forest neighborhood. They couldn't find the source of the blast and later determined that a local guy had just gotten his wings and did a fly over of his parent's house. He pulled pitch hard and nailed it right over their house and went supersonic. The news reported that he got in quite a bit of trouble.

in the 70's my SO's brother got his wings in the USAF. his dad ran the bussy brake boat dock, so he decided to give dad a thrill while on a practice run in a t38(? jet) trainer. When he got near Bussy, he turned off his transpoder, dropped down to tree top level, did a high speed run over the lake and the dock, then popped back up to altitude up and turned his transponder back on. everybody knew who did it, but nobody tried to prove it. he then landed in Monroe and visited family.
i think the local FAA told him to check his radio and never do that again.
