Say goodby to their pilot licenses

There was a YouTuber that faked like his plane lost power so he jumped out. He was acting like it was a total freak accident. But he managed to film the plane the entire way down while having fire extinguisher's stuffed in his pant legs. I'm not sure what happened to that guy but what a moron. Apparently they yanked his pilots license for this stunt.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some people have nothing better to do.
 
Were they chewing Tide Pods as they swapped planes? :rolleyes:
 
Well I'm going to be a little controversial here. In my opinion the ONLY dumb thing about this stunt was the planes being unmanned once they left them. My guess is that's what the FAA had an issue with. Had there been pilots in them to fly them in a controlled dive for "X" amount of time there never would have been any risk of a crash. And they probably could have done all this without having to ask for the FAA's permission! Virtually everything else about this stunt was just routine skydiving ****. Hell, nobody objected a while back when that guy made the jump into the net without a chute

My thoughts exactly, why wasn't there a backup pilot on each plane?
 
I got pulled over once and the cop asked me for my pilot's license, I laughed, he didn't

Done the same. Coming up Airport Road from Brampton in 1992. Told the Wife I'd be home to cook her Mother's Day supper. Passed a cop sitting on the side of the road while I was doing a buck 20 (mph) in the Bird and decided to just pull over. He caught up and first thing he said was "let me see your pilots licence" and I pulled it out and showed it to him. He lost his composure, turned around and walked back to the car did a U turn and left ! And I know I was laughing all the way home and I'm sure he was giggling too...

There was a Daytona around back in the 80's with a license plate frame that read "I don't drive fast, I fly low"
