Stadium flyover... anybody?

Ah so I see someone else was there to witness it. Too bad you were cheering for the losing team... the football monopoly is over in LA my butt.
I wasn't sure if those hornet were from Lemoore or Miramar perhaps.

A-men, I'll throw up an 8-clap for that.
You all remember of course the BoSox flyover...

Looks like most people have it right. I am a wing fragger. The way the process works is, a team will fill out a request for air support that will go to headquarters Marine Corps. If it gets approved, it will be available for anyone to support unless there is a specific squadron requested. It goes on a website as available and it will be sourced if able by the wing. It isn't necessarily a local squadron. We have East Coast squadrons do flyovers allthe time as far west at Chicago.
I had a CO prohibit us from even discussion doing flyovers. The above examples and the resulting FNAEB's are the reason why... Cool as shit, but proves the adage "you can do anything you want on your LAST flight".
You meant this, right?
Or did you mean discussion during flyovers?
And that is lame PC micromanagement bullcrap. Respectfully. And FNAEB=??
FNAEB= Fleet Naval Aviators Evaluation Board. Where they investigate you to possibly take your wings, retrain or go away from Carriers forever.
I was referencing Mumbles classic vid. I believe that guy got fried hard for multiple violations. It was the FAA & brass in the crowd along with the video that got him (along with multiple 3710 & FAA violations).
The CO just didn't want to go there. He was a great pilot, but didn't want to see anyone get fried over something like that.

Man, I didn't realize how low he was until I watched the second vantage point... he's not much higher than the top of the stadium.
Besides being obviously too low, was it the maneuvering that got him in trouble?

Too low, too close to people, the maneuver, instilling a sense of fear, reckless... You name it, I'm sure they used the whole book. I'm not condoning anything, just telling a story from the CO.
There's another flyover video someone showed me recently where the plane flew, or at least it seemed, right threw the fireworks as they went off. Anyone see this one. I think it was summer 2007.
On a related note, has anyone done any flying/advising for the film industry?

Second that. I would imagine the helo bubbas have more of an advantage in that arena?
