Vermont Air Guard pilot grounded after Fenway Park flyover - Boston.com

Wait...I'm confused...the article says "It is a legitimate maneuver. It is normally done at 5,000 feet or above...At no time was the public in danger,"

Okay...that's good and dandy BUUUUUT then it goes on to say "The pilot has been grounded, not as a punishment but so we can provide remedial training in tactics and procedures so this situation does not happen again," Goodrow said. "He might have made other choices to rejoin the formation."

Situation?

Seems there's a bit of a conflict in the wording, no?

Still, a killer move that added a little pazazz to the fly-by.

Doc, I agree with the left-coaster, buy that man a beer!

Yea, I normally only see Politically Correct and Smoke n' Mirror Mumbo-Jumbo like that while reading press releases in the motorycle industry!

The Vermont boys were trying hard not to say "Our pilot pulled a rogue hotdog move. We've since grounded his ass and he'll be cleaning the outhouse for the next 3 months"

Great find Alex...

I was right under it.

I was heading into a meeting with the Somerville town building inspector and saw it... It just gave me the patriotic chills. Rock on . Thanks for the protection. At first I thought it was the Blue Angles. But then I realized it was an F16, single tail, single engine not and F18 twin slanted rudder, 2 engine in blue and yellow.

This vid show a better angle than what I saw.

Go Maverek
There should be a petition to keep the guy flying from the SOX nation.

[Cheese]

Phhhht. I see that move pulled by cell phone soccer mom's all the time. Ain't no big thing ...

[Tricky Mike]

Ha!
I watched it from a 6th floor rooftop on Boylston.. I thought it was cool as hell...
He did it twice, too just for good measure.

[Tricky Mike]

Bah... It didn't look all that close from where I was standing. Obviously they can't condone it, but I didn't think it was a big deal. It's not like he buzzed the park at 200' with his afterburner on.

[Pittenger5]

What exactly are we looking at? I'm confused, did he just fly a lot lwer than the rest of the planes?

[Tricky Mike]

Hard to see in the vid... he did two barrel rolls over the other 3 jets...

[MotoFreak]

Yea thats our boy!!!!
I work on those hogs (aka F-16s) cant really add anything that Ch. 5 News said on TV...pretty much sums it up...it was a badass move fosho, but when your wingmans wing tip is 3 feet from your canopy...its kinda scary...just a wee bit dangerous!

Next time you are out in B'town and run across the Air Guard boys. What a fucking badass. He should go hang out with Hicks and Hudson.

Ill be Downtown tonight...

[Pittenger5]

Ok I thought I saw a barrel roll but wasnt sure. That guys awesome.

I was just talking to LTC Goodrow yesterday...

Will (motofreak) knows these guys better than I do, maybe he can pass on our support to the pilot.

I'll buy em a beer if I see em.

Motofreak, please don't call an F-16 a HOG. It is a Falcon as the crew chief you should know that. An A-10 is a HOG, I crew them for 14 yrs until last year when we picked up the F-15, now we are eaglequeers.

Anyone seen him lately? He is one big fat bastard.

My apologies...I used the term "hogs" loosely; with no reference to the animal designation given to the F-16C Fighting Falcon Multi-Role Tactical Fighter or any other US Military Fighter Aircraft...

...and you can bet your ass he rides a gixxer...

squid in the air...squid on the ground...!

Def. not a squid maneuver...

I can tell you his call sign is Troll...and he's a good shit...wicked nice guy. I will buy him a beer next time I see him, and tell him its from NESR!

Probably wears a DayGlow green flight suit.

Not to get picky or anything... but didn't they change the actual name of the aircraft to the F-16C Viper?

Anyway, I agree, def not a squid move, that takes balls and a lot of training to roll around your flight like that. Everyone of those guys has a shit ton of training, otherwise they wouldn't be flying multi-million dollar aircraft. I can't wait til I get mine!

[MotoFreak]

Viper is a "pet name".,..cause Falcon isn't bad ass...Viper is...
