What is it with young males advertising genitalia?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/11/17/a-navy-pilot-drew-a-penis-in-the-sky-its-not-the-first-time-something-like-this-has-been-investigated/

(It kind of reminds me of the recent Netflix original series "American Vandal". It's hilarious if you've seen "Making a Murderer".)

I know from personal experience that they've got testosterone on the brain -- and are controlled by it more than they know -- but, sheesh! Didn't this pilot realize that a giant celestial phallus would be seen by the public and that there was a possibility that he might get in trouble?

Or maybe he did realize it and just didn't care. I can imagine him singing this to himself as he flew his fighter jet in a carefully arranged pattern:

(With apologies to Journey)

Wiener in the sky keeps on shocking
I don't know what I'll draw tomorrow
Wiener in the sky keeps on shocking

Then I think of Joseph Smith, boinking whatever women (and girls!) he could manage while creating fake scripture out of ancient Egyptian porn. He thought that he could get away with it too. So did all of the other abusers who are currently in the news.

Yes, it is just silly joke.

I'd much rather see the crack of dawn.

ha ha ha!

You mean to say you would whether see this pilot draw a human's butt in the sky????

People who look at exhaust contrails and see a "penis", are the ones with a dirty mind. You can look at clouds too and see or imagine images. People even see Jesus in the clouds.

You're right, it could be something else entirely. Perhaps a very tall cowboy hat.

But my mind is pretty twisted.

Remember Beavis and Butthead and the Washington Monument?

Or an Arby's logo.

Take THAT, North Korea!

What an idiot. This was over Whidbey Island, in the heart of Seattle. The Navy doesn't just let anyone fly F/A 18's. They are 70 million dollar aircraft. This guy just screwed his career. They fly enough training missions hundreds of miles off the coast, that civilians wouldn't see- if he just HAD to do it.
Especially with all the media coverage of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior in recent weeks, the Navy will make an example out of this knucklehead.

Yeah, he pulled a real boner, alright!

A. Whidbey Island is not in the heart of Seattle. It's at least 50 miles north.

B. It was over the Okanagan Highlands, about 200 miles northeast of Seattle. And on the opposite side of the Cascade Mountains.

No. I Lived there. It's 34 miles, that's taking roads. But, as the crow flies, it's about 20, still the suburbs of Seattle. Don't try to minimize the millions who saw the penis.

I'm not minimizing anything, it didn't happen over Whidbey Island. Millions did not see it. I grew up in Eastern Washington and have been to Whidbey and Oak Harbor many times. Ever been to Omak or the Okanagan Highlands? There ain't millions of people there!

Spokane resident here. People here are pissed that the base is right next to town and yet, nobody ever draws penises in our airspace, dangit.

I live by the base (Fairchild). Would be a challenge for those tanker planes to do that, lol.


I also grew up in Okanogan county - outside of the town of Winthrop, population 400.

The county is big, larger than 3 of the states, and has 41,000 people.

"But, as the crow flies, it's about 20, still the suburbs of Seattle."

I grew up in Everett, WA. right across the sound from Whidbey Island. Everett is not a "suburb" of Seattle.

I don't understand the self-destruct mode. If he has this lack of judgement and self-control, no inkling that he might lose his wings over the need to draw a penis in the sky, then I don't want him flying a well-armed, $70m weapon of war.

I totally get the joke, and smirk right along, but I question his stability. Take the guns away from this impulsive guy or gal. Give him/her a pencil and a spreadsheet to work on.

And, don't put him behind the stick of an airbus. Let him serve the drinks.

Let any destruction be his/her own.

They must have watched Top Gun too many times, lol.

It probably takes a certain amount of skill to "paint" a phallic symbol into the clouds.
They're just young people showing off.

We once drove north of San Diego on the freeway when a plane swooped down and flew right in between the underpass - scared the hell out of us.

But we figured it was some testosterone-filled dude trying to imitate Tom Cruise ,lol.

Whatever happened to flying underneath the (Deception Pass) bridge?

That's one bitchin' bridge. Great scenery. Too bad that the locals call it Suicide Bridge.

Everybody sing along!!!!! Peeenis in the sky-y with diiiiamonds!

Problem solved.

Sorry, but Air Force pilots can't fly the same parameters as Navy pilots. Penises or not.
