USN “Super Bowl” flyover.

“A headline in search of a story.”
Guys complain anonymously to the media about their missed 20 seconds of fame.
Fox News maintains their usual low standards by covering this.
To quote a comment on another site. “ If the Command decided to send 4 women …orders are orders. Absolutely very bad form for the male aviators to go complaining to the media about the Trauma / Drama. I trust the USN has provided a “Safe Space“ AKA “Providing the keys to the Weep Locker” for them to recover.”

Did not the RAF have a dustup over a recruiting drive where White Male Pilots were deselected from the PR Team by Orders from on High?

I recall lots of whinging and moaning right here when that was going on.

If flying over a sports field is the "highlight of your military career" then you're in the wrong effing job!

I believe that was retired old farts having strokes and bleeds about it on Pprune, rather than our actual steely eyed knights of the air. (I believe we are up to 11 of those now, btw.)

Interesting choice to put the F35 on the wing. I'd have had it lead or put it in the box for symetry. ( Can I still say box?)

I think his point needs an urban dictionary. To see why the names of aircraft could be cross referenced first. growler, ghost bat and bear are just 3 examples
