I guess I would have been happier if the Army just “handled” this behind the scenes. Give the pilot a “good talking to”, but not allow it to go unnoticed.
Kid Rock posted it on his socials, so that’s why the DemoKKKrats got their panties in a bunch.
I understand this kind of stuff happens “all the time.” (Meaning, it happens but usually not so visibly.)
I would imagine when it generates “attention” the pilots would be told that this stuff is not permitted and pay better attention.
I would also imagine that if it continued to happen from that crew...more active discipline would occur.
Often times its the appearance of recklessness that will get you in trouble.
I am sure I have gotten some of this wrong.
Was it harmless? Yes. But its how it looks that could be a problem.
