Pilots are an interesting lot. Daredevils by nature. Sometimes it can get them in trouble ...

“It’s possible they were troubleshooting a problem; you don’t know,” Diamond said. “It’s easy to make a snap judgment, but there are other possibilities.”That about sums it up.

Well, if we had a bunch of milquetoast pilots, we wouldn’t have a very effective military.
Comes with the territory.

“Somebody has to be a total moron to do it in total view of tourists and in a recreational area, when everyone has a camera these days. We don’t really have morons flying naval aircraft,” Really? Things must have changed after I left in 1993.

Circumstances relating to what was perceived by the pilot as an equipment malfunction required a brief test of operational limits of the craft and crew. The skinny-dipping, of course, was implemented as a morale booster. Report closed.

Passing to a rotorhead friend of mine. Maybe I’ll get useful input.

Odd. Almost like a “who’s got the bigger water spray” contest.

Looks to me like the dwondraft kicked up enough mist to interfere with engine air intakes - thereby reducing lift balance power.

These guys are tasked with flying right to the edge right now in Stan....Letting off some steam and having some balls to the wall fun has to be allowed more. Sucks that some Civ caught all this on tape, on them.
