Funny, but I'd imagine their careers might be over?

I find it funny, juvenile, but amusing. Just tell your kids its random if you can't explain what a penis is. <shrug>

Is it the worlds largest graffiti art so far? And its temporary.

 

[maddog69]

Not any worse than this

You don’t like the penis building built to be the capital of America’s wang?

Sadly that might be correct.

I remember an article around 20 years ago in the WSJ about an AA (I think) pilot's last flight. The internet is amazing. Just found it.

"
Helicopters often fly low over Waikiki Beach and the Diamond Head volcano on Oahu, but buzzing the beach and crater in a widebody DC-10 is another matter.

That's exactly what a retiring American Airlines Inc. captain did last month on his final flight - a low-level aloha near Honolulu. Turns out, it's a tradition among retiring pilots.Just after takeoff about 5:30 p.m. on July 28, the pilot of Flight 8 bound for Dallas-Fort Worth with as many as 290 passengers on board requested permission to veer off the normal departure route because it was his final flight. With permission from air traffic controllers, the pilot cut back the engines and swept the big bird weighing some 200 tons in close to the surf and the 761-foot volcano.

American says the pilot never flew below 1,000 feet, though stunned witnesses, four of whom phoned the Federal Aviation Administration, estimated the plane was between 200 and 400 feet or so off the water. One woman called from the 22nd floor of a hotel and "said she was looking down on top of the thing," said FAA spokesman John Clabes."

Ha, witnesses estimate 200 to 400 ft, but he never went under 1000 ft. Just like pedestrians trying to estimate the speed of a vehicle, etc. Eye witnesses are notoriously unreliable. I loved this scene from "A Bugs Life". People are generally clueless for anything out of their daily routine.

 

[surfnole]

I don't doubt the pilot might have been flying at 100-200 feet. Why else turn off your transponder which broadcasts your altitude and path.

Deny, deny, deny.
Air Force fighter pilots wouldn't stoop to such juvenile antics...

Looks like an airbag went off in that cockpit!
