I dunno, the throwing of things out of an airplane is very dumb, but "I thought we were about to witness a terrorist attack" Yeah because Al Queda has nothing better to do then ruin some redneck football game............ Give the kid a break was it dumb? yes, criminal no!

SAAB... I thought the same thing. It's what I like to call False Outrage in this country... everyone pretending to be offended or upset or mentally damaged by something just to get their 15 minutes in the news. Terrorist attack at a high school football game? Please.

91.15 states that:
No pilot in command of a civil aircraft may allow ANY OBJECT to be dropped from that aircraft in flight that CREATES A HAZARD TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY.
There are provisions under 91.15 assuming reasonable precautions are taken; however throwing a pair of shoes and a football out of his aircraft during a football game where people fill the bleachers and players are on the field clearly does not fall under those provisions.
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!
In doing what he did he clearly did not exhibit the maturity necessary to hold a pilot's certificate, additionally he placed the wellbeing of potentially several thousand people at risk. I know I'm just an old crumudgon, but this kid needs to have the book thrown at him!

He should have rented one and then did a few donuts (keeping with Saab's redneck comment) on the 50 yard line. Then people would have been outraged but it wouldn't have triggered the terrorist response.
