This is just exactly the type of press that general aviation does not need.

For sure. Although, I'm sure it seemed like about the coolest thing
in the world to do, at age 17...

I can see my son (also 17 and about to take his checkride) in this
scenario. Hopefully he'd show better judgement, but you can bet we'll
be discussing this incident.

Perhaps if he flies again he'll remove himself from the gene pool. Pilots
like that often do.

I think it's funny how people can laugh at this sort of thing when it
happened back in the day, but for some reason have a completely
opposite reaction when it happens in the present time. Does anyone
remember that scene in One Six Right when those WWII vets were
reminiscing about when they were teenagers flying down low along the
trains (and I'm sure they've done worst things than that, too)? You
never hear people calling them idiots. Back then it was cute, not it's
"idiotic". To me it sounds like the exact same thing...

Yes, but did they fly in front of other airplanes?

For better or worse, we simply don't live in the same world that we did
"back in the day". For example, there was also a time when drunk driving was
considered cute, but today that same behavior will earn you a felony conviction
and time behind bars.

Dangerous flying has always been a stupid thing to do. One important
difference from "back in the day", is that today your stupidity is more likely
to adversely affect the rest of us pilots rather than just yourself.

Another difference from "back in the day" is that once upon a time, flying
was the coolest thing around. Pilots were heroes, planes were every kid's
fantasy, and airplane accidents were frequent enough that they were not huge
newsmakers. Today, "those little airplanes" are annoying, pilots are "rich
guys", every accident is front page news, and mass air transit has turned
flying from an idyllic dream to a 600 mph Greyhound with the potential for a
cavity search.

People don't have the tolerance for flying today that they had once upon a
time.
