I had forgotten all about that fun activity. Next time my wife and I go flying, we must take along a roll of TP.
My boss and his friends used to make bombing runs with bowling balls against abandoned barns. Living in the country does have some advantages. I think his funniest experiment was to mount Estes model rockets onto his Piper Super Cub and make aerial attacks upon isolated targets around the area.
Since nobody was injured in the episode under discussion, other than flying too low over a populated area, what FAA regulations were violated? Legally, trying to prove the actual altitude of the aircraft may be a little difficult.
Infractions include:
- Night without lights.
- Flying at night with only a student license.
- Flying with a pax with only a student license.
Very difficult to say if he was at 500' or 300' - without proper measuring equipment.
Would love to fly in the country without the trials and travails of the "Noise Freaks" as we like to call them.
