I fully agree smarthawke!
If these guys didn't do anything wrong, then the complaint to the CAA will come to nothing.
Then perhaps the stone throwing at Moody will be justified.
I cannot help but see the attitude here that these are great guys and so any complaint is unjustified - that cannot be so.
We all do stupid things sometimes. The attitude that I'm a great aviator and so the rules don't apply to me seems very inappropriate. I would n't suggest Moody seems the nicest type of person - but that is only one side of this story, started in a very sensationalist way.
If or when the CAA drop it then the insults might be more justified.
As for me having a down on military pilots - no not particularly, I know a couple and respect their skills. I do however find arrogance and rule breaking based on it, pretty boorish and utterly inexcusable particularly when the word professional is being used.
