IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The Air Force says six pilots who participated in a spectacular flyover before an Iowa football game have been disciplined for flying too low and too fast. The lead pilot is giving up his right to fly military aircraft.

The jets approached speeds of 400 knots during both the flyover and practice runs the day before. The limit is 300 knots.

They should fire the base commander for allowing this flyover. A 100,000 in aviation fuel, thousands of hours in training, just to flyover a fucking college football game.

AWESOME!

Be sure to watch the second video taken from the field toward the scoreboard. The planes were just 16 feet above the scoreboard.

Sure wish I could have been there to experience that flyover!!!

That is the sound to show you who's in control!

Many Senior citizens can not even get their social security and yet we can afford to fly over football stadiums!

Many of the soldiers over seas can't get the equipment they need Yet we can afford to fly over football stadiums!

Our Roads are falling apart, schools are going to shit, and our govt. is in dept to it's eyeballs yet we can afford to fly over football stadiums!

And now we just wasted money on a good pilot because of it.

Flight rules exist for a reason. If not the safety of the aircraft and pilots, but for the spectators on the ground.

The willful violation of those rules is an act of defiance, not heroism.

By his action, the lead pilot did so with knowledge of the consequences of said such action, and his wing also did knowingly follow his lead knowing that they were not only in violation of FAA rules, but Air Force rules instituted after a very tragic accident which caused the lost of an aircraft, and but for the actions of the pilot, many people on the ground.

His wings are welcome back in the locker.

We need combat pilots, not idiots, on the controls of a 200 million dollar fighter such as the F-22. (in this case 26 million dollar F-16C).

Sad to see him go - but he knew the rules, he violated the rules, and he must own up to the consequence of breaking those rules.

Luckily, no one else suffered on the ground because of his dereliction of duty.

OH COME ON!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE EARNED A MEDAL! In England they train to fly super low all the time, to fly under enemy radar!

these pilots were well within their ability and should have been commended.

If they were given permission to fly over the stadium then the responsibility falls on the persons that made THAT decision.
