Officials at Naval Air
Station Whidbey Island in Washington issued an apology after a pilot drew male
genitalia in the sky above Okanogan County on Thursday. Residents captured
photos and video and sent them to local news outlets to complain about the
inappropriate prank.
"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,” a
representative told KREM 2 news. The FAA also told KREM 2 that there was
nothing the agency could do about it because it doesn’t pose a safety risk.
Needless to say, because
of the juvenile nature, the images and video quickly went viral, and the
incident has received significant attention from mainstream news websites and
blogs. As a result, two crew members have been grounded.
“We have grounded the
aircrew and are conducting a thorough investigation — and we will hold those
responsible accountable for their actions,” officials wrote in a
statement, according to KREM 2. “The Navy apologizes for this
irresponsible and immature act.”
Not everyone was offended
by the art, however. One resident told Military.com that he got a
kick out of it when he spotted it while running errands.
"After seeing circles
at the bottom, I knew what it was and started laughing," Ramone Duran
said. "It was pretty funny to see that. You don't expect to see something
like that."
