In 2009, two Navy pilots ( both Georgia tech grads), lost their wings for a flyover at Bobby Dowd Stadium when Tech played Wake Forest.

From my perspective, the pass over the Golden Gate seems a tad riskier.

There’s a difference between what a standard pilot in a regular hornet is allowed to do and what the Blues are allowed to do...

The training is different as are some of the control settings for the aircraft.

200 foot mins over a populated area. This was cool but probably very naughty.
