Pilot Suspended - Fenway Flyover

[wa-loaf]

Anyone see the flyover for Fenway opening day? One of the pilots was showing off a little and has since been grounded.

The building I work in has a great view of the Charles and Fenway. I could see the planes coming over towards the park and one of the planes was making those "loops." I was actually scared that the pilot might lose control and crash into one of the buildings because he looked too low at the bottom of the loop. I think the pilots were from the Vermont National Guard. Pilot's name was probably Maverick. =)

Yup...those were our Green Mountain Boys. They've been doing the fly-overs at Fenway for a few years now. The Free Press has a good article and video:

"He might have made other choices to rejoin the formation."

Hehe, this part made me laugh.

Looks like the Pops & Joe C. can take the blame LOL.

Still, not as bad as this one.

I was in Burlington, VT for opening day. I was close to the airport, close enough to watch those jets take off.

I don't know what the 4th guy was doing to get so far off schedule. Pretty sure I saw all four take off back-to-back.

It crossed my mind that "maybe" somethng was wrong somewhere...for four jets to scramble.

Too bad about the grounding. I thought it was a pretty cool move (when I saw the replay later and put two and two together about the jets taking off).
