We have lost all appreciation for the Arts.

If they knew they were going to get grounded, they should have drawn a bigger one.

Oh, children.

At least it was accurately flown, if slightly out of scale!

An Air Force pilot would have drawn a far bigger one.

"Although not flying for the time-being, the two Marine Corps aviators are still providing vital squadron ground support functions.”

Yeah, gate guard, ops desk, cleaning duties?

So every time I go for a slash I am handling something "resembling an obscene image "?
OK, todgers are not necessarily aesthetically pleasing to all, but obscene?

All these sky wangs.
Why has no-one drawn a fast jet-fanny?
We should be told!
And for the Spams, I'm not talking about a lady's derriere either.
A few high-G turns would be required I suspect...

It would need to be done in an F-22 for the best chance of avoiding drawing a wide one, and thus avoiding claims of misogyny....

Depends where it's sighted. In the privacy of the bathroom or bedroom no problem. Walking down the high street?

I feel for the two pilots but it wasn't done with a smoke trail so nobody on the ground likely knew what they had done. I'm thinking Aircraft Spots should be reviewed for possible release of restricted information.

Lock 'em up for wasting and misusing tax dollars. Apparently they acted out of insecurity for their own attributes.
