I also heard on the news something about it not only being a photo-op but that it also was done so that the pilot could get some more practice and log hours.

And that's why it had to be a secret? I'm not buying it. What weak excuses for a totally irrational act, that terrified thousands of people.

“And that’s why it had to be a secret? I’m not buying it. What weak excuses for a totally irrational act, that terrified thousands of people.”

The comment I heard wasn’t saying that that was an excuse for the secrecy. They were just reporting that some pilot was getting some air time practice. Don’t even know if it was true, but Fox News is what I watch so I know I heard it there.

IMO, there is NO excuse for that stunt. None. Nada. Zip.
