No doubt about the "big brass ones" though.......agree totally; unfortunately - he must not have cared much for his future flying career. USN leadership has taken wings lately for less than what is shown on that video.

I found this clip on YouTube just as a contrast. It is from my squadron's fly-by at the 2008 Rose Bowl game. Notice how long before the actual fly-by that the flight is in formation.

My question about the F-16 fly-by is HOW did a formation member get SO FAR out of position approaching the actual stadium. Plus - don't know about the GMB fly-by and the limits - but ours are NLT 1,000' and 250 kts. We often do dirty passes in the diamond (gear/flaps/hook down) in past squadrons.
