didn't this same thing happen several months ago, and i believe our responses were just about the same....PS, says no-where that the kid won't make it to the regionals. In our modern times, he'll be a shoe in, as he has ACTUAL in plane experience...

This kid violated, FAR #'s 91.13(careless and reckless), 91.15(dropping objects), 91.119(minimum safe altitudes), possibly 91.145(management of aircraft operations in the vicinity of aerial demonstrations and major sporting events). These are just the FAR Violations, what about some potential local and or state violations- disturbing the peace, reckless endangerment(btw, that would be 1 count per person at the stadium!)some could argue reckless use of a motor vehicle, just to name a few. Is this kid a Terrorist, definitely not, did he engage in criminal behavior, absolutely!...



Wow... did you look all this up or are you just that smart? No offense but you need a hobby. Sorry one too many Sam Adams here in BUF before bed... i really mean no offense!

I can't believe someone would actually do 3 low passes. You are just asking to get nailed. If you are going to be completely stupid and do something like that don't do it 3 times.

I don't know about you, but I think one of the first things I checked out when I learned how to fly was "how much can I drop from airplanes and where can I do it!" Of course, I was 15, and have matured greatly since then, and would never DREAM of dropping something out of an airplane as a gag ;).

Isn't there a saying about hunters or snipers for this? Don't shoot more than once, cause they'll know where you're at? Definitely stupid to do it over and over again. But hey, great way to jump start weeding out of immature SJS kids. He'll have a fun time explaining this in his interview.

Sad to say, I know the regs. I used to be an aviation safety counselor, then I became an airline flunkie:rolleyes:
