US Navy Pilot's Art Is Unacceptable Says Officials.

[snowyowl]

A 'cock and bull' story.

 

[sablebrush52]

Flights of fancy.

The pilot would have got off easy if he hadn't been such a big dick about it.

24k an hour! At that price Id agree with officials trying to cock block.

When I first heard this story, I couldn't help but think of this from Austin Powers,

Perfect clip. Wonder if it was the inspiration for the sky drawing!

"Wonder if it was the inspiration for the sky drawing!"
Maybe this was the start of it all?
In August this year, an RAF fighter pilot drew a 35-mile penis on radars monitoring skies over Lincolnshire, England.

The phrase "35-mile penis" needs to work its way into popular culture.

The public restroom wall aspect aside, it seems like it would be really tricky to draw any kind of recognizable "picture" at jet speed, and get the proportions right. At least with sky writing, each letter is a fairly tight maneuver, while this extends (if you will) over some miles. I'd say there was some tricky piloting involved, along with the juvenile sense of humor. Any pilots who can tell us what difficulty level of flying this is?

I will opine that it was top gun flying to be able to create that drawing: very skillful.
(I am a pilot, but not jet rated, not even twin prop pistons.)

It is amazing what one can learn by looking at these old threads!

A for Aleister Crowley. :rofl:
That would be my defense.

I bet the top brass were laughing their asses off along with the pilot. They are probably just putting on a show for the media making it look like they are pissed off. Anyone with a sense of humor would find that funny.

 

[mso489]

...just another pilot bragging about his landing gear.

 

[rmpeeps]

I don’t care who you are. That there is funny.
