Default losing your wings.....

With the caveat that this is through the prism of the mainstream
media, I'll work on the basis that the details are accurate.

A flyby at your old stomping ground is one thing, but high speed pass
followed by an afterburner climb (shudder!)? There's a time and
place for that kind of flying, but this wasn't it. Methinks a more
garden variety touch and go would have resulted in getting smacked
hard but keeping his wings.

As an aside, I believe airports should be good neighbors, but I
couldn't help but smile at the thought of the people who built their
houses next to that evil airport.
