sky-hop

1. Guy at the airport who checks your bags for a tip, so that you don't have to wait in line with the rest of us.

2. Buzzing people or objects at low altitude.

1. The sky-hop will check your bag at the curb.

2. Sen. Jim Inhofe "sky-hopped" his Cessna aircraft over six vehicles and ground personnel as he tried to land on a closed runway in Texas, sending frightened airport workers fleeing for their lives...
