Navy Pilot Draws 'Male Genitalia' in Washington State Sky
Looks like some EA-18G driver from Whidbey is going to be flying rubber dogs**t out of Hong Kong in a cargo plane:

Graphic: Navy admits to being involved in obscene skydrawings spotted in Okanogan Co.
Staff , KREM 9:26 PM. EST November 16, 2017
WARNING: Some viewers may find the photos in this story offensive
OKANOGAN COUNTY, Wash. – Officials with the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island said one of their aircraft was involved in the obscene skywritings spotted in Okanogan County.
Photos sent to KREM 2 by multiple sources show skydrawings of what some people are saying is male genitalia. Some sources have even tweeted pictures of what they saw.
A mother who lives in Okanogan who took pictures of the drawings reached out to KREM 2 to complain about the images, saying she was upset she might have to explain to her young children what the drawings were.
In a statement to KREM 2 News navy officials said, "The Navy holds its aircrew to the highest standards and we find this absolutely unacceptable, of zero training value and we are holding the crew accountable."
KREM 2 spoke to the Federal Aviation Administration to get some information about who may have made the drawings. FAA officials said unless the act poses a safety risk, there is nothing they can do about. The official said they "cannot police morality."

If a penis is obscene then half [approx] of the world population are carting something obscene about.
The world has gone mad. I thought it was going mad, but its completed the job.

Aircrew have been drawing sky willies for years...
Back before the 1957 White Paper killed them off, one of the VR squadron pilots drew one in the skies over Edinburgh. Some god-botherer complained, so the squadron got airborne, formed line abreast and flew through the thing - then repositioned on another axis and repeated their efforts.
So if anyone hadn't noticed the sky willy the first time, they sure as heck noticed it one the attempts at erasing it had been put into effect.

I agree that this is nothing new. Those Navy guys will never be accepted by polite society.
Ex-Blue Angels leader Gregory McWherter oversaw 'painting of penis visible on Google Maps' | Daily Mail Online
Disgraced Blue Angels commander made his team paint male genitalia so big it was visible on GOOGLE MAPS, Navy reports
Capt Gregory McWherter, graduate of Top Gun school, was relieved of his post in April amid misconduct allegations
U.S. Navy report found McWherter used call sing 'Stiffy' and allowed pilots to keep binoculars in cockpits to spot scantily clad women
Newly released report notes he encouraged pilots to share nude photos of girlfriends
Displayed pornographic pumpkins called 'pornkins' at Halloween and oversaw a giant blue and gold painting of genitalia
New hires were hazed by being forced to wear 'foam penis' hats
Giant male genitalia were painted in blue and gold on roof of Blue Angles' [sic] training facility in California

If so, the incident then suddenly becomes what is called a 'teachable moment' like when the perp of the recent racist graffiti at the Air Force Academy Prep School was identified as one of the alleged 'victims'.
The timing for the Navy couldn't be worse with the current civilian sexual hazmat media meltdown. Will this blow over in the background? Or, will this start Tailhook II with renewed pressure to name a female Blue Angel skipper?

Well if it is a penis, I sure hope it's not a self portrait - might want the MO to take a look.
I certainly think there's a snowflake involved in the story somewhere!

Here's the Navy's initial media release on the incident:
Navy planes leave a trail of 'condensed air'? Who knew?
US Navy air crew, flying an F/A-18 Growler (Electronic Attack Aircraft) assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130 based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash., flew an air pattern over Okanogan County, Wash., on Thursday, Nov. 16, that left a condensed air trail resembling an obscene image to observers on the ground.
The Officers and Sailors of the United States Navy are professionals, held to the highest standards, while serving our nation with pride around world. The actions of this aircrew were wholly unacceptable and antithetical to Navy core values. We have grounded the aircrew and are conducting a thorough investigation - and we will hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The Navy apologizes for this irresponsible and immature act.
The Navy apologizes to anyone who was offended by this unacceptable action.
An investigation into this flight will be conducted and if appropriate, the aviator(s) responsible will be held accountable.

...saying she was upset she might have to explain to her young children what the drawings were.
The kids were probably too engrossed in their stupid I-Pads to look up in the sky to see jets anyway.
Salute!
Looking at the graphic, I think the crew made the pattern without any thot of what it would look like from the ground.
Sheesh.
I never flew in an area like Washington or Britain wherre there were strong and presistent cons.
The pattern looks like a basic holding one and then zooming in toward the threat radars and coming back to safety. I flew a similar pattern a hundred years ago on the wing of a Spark Vark. My Viper wingie was on the other side of the vark. We held for timing, then raced in to hit an SA-4 site. The Spark Vark shower of power protected us even after he turned a 180 and we got within bombing distance before the SAM site found us. Too, bad and it was dust 20 seconds later.

Don't think they are laughing in the Pentagon. The earlier statement apparently was released by a (female) Public Affairs Officer. Now, a three-star admiral has promised to launch an inquiry :

The holding pattern explanation did work for an RAF crew near Lossiemouth three years ago:

As Sister Aimee Semple McPherson allegedly said: 'That's my story and I'm sticking to it!'
The image stretched hundreds of feet high [sic- those were mighty low contrails ] over the Okanogan Highlands, based on photographs shared on social media.
It has spawned a full Navy investigation, with a senior officer, Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, promising to examine the issue fully and respond.
“The American people rightfully expect that those who wear the Wings of Gold exhibit a level of maturity commensurate with the missions and aircraft with which they’ve been entrusted,” said Shoemaker, who oversees naval air operations, in a statement released by the service. “Naval aviation continually strives to foster an environment of dignity and respect. Sophomoric and immature antics of a sexual nature have no place in Naval aviation today.”

RAF bosses claim 'penis' drawn in sky was just an accident
RAF bosses have insisted that a penis-shaped vapour trail that appeared in the sky was "not what it perhaps appears to be".
By Sarah Ann Harris
PUBLISHED: 12:51, Fri, Nov 7, 2014
Residents of Lossiemouth, in Moray, Scotland, were stunned when the rude-looking sight appeared over the town.
Many people suggested that a pilot from RAF Lossiemouth could have done it deliberately.
Some believed that he had since been reprimanded.
But a spokesman from the base denied this and claimed the seemingly rude image was merely an accident. He said: "It's not what it perhaps appears to be.
"The pilot concerned was flying in a holding pattern, which is what all aircraft do when they are waiting to land.
"The matter was looked into, but this is not a case of someone being silly."
He added: "People sometimes look into the sky and see all sorts of things."
Vapour trails, also known as contrails, are formed by vapour in the exhaust of aircraft engines or changes in air pressure over areas if the wing.

Thanks, Bubba.
Stupid people making stupid meanings about basic nature and such.
In these days in the U.S. almost anything you do will be related to respect or lack of, harassment, abuse, resentment of a statute of an old patriot or someone else, and the beat goes on.
As I said, I flew the exact profile back in 1983 or so at Red Flag, and if we had the cons the pic would have looked the same except for my flight that zoomed out in front to hit the tgt.

P.S Hey Bubba, go Tigers. The Vols need some serious help.

We just have to hope and pray that this is just silly foam and that the grownups of both sexes will quietly get on with preparing to defeat the bad guys long after the snowflakes have settled
Apparently the rear-seater of the Growler realised what was happening and attempted to leave the aircraft, adding premature ejection to the crew’s list of transgressions.
I’ll get my coat.
