OKANOGAN COUNTY, Wash. – Officials with the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island said one of their aircraft was involved in the obscene skywritings spotted in Okanogan County.
Photos sent to KREM 2 by multiple sources show skydrawings of what some people are saying is male genitalia. Some sources have even tweeted pictures of what they saw.
A mother who lives in Okanogan who took pictures of the drawings reached out to KREM 2 to complain about the images, saying she was upset she might have to explain to her young children what the drawings were.
In a statement to KREM 2 News navy officials said, "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."
KREM 2 spoke to the Federal Aviation Administration to get some information about who may have made the drawings. FAA officials said unless the act poses a safety risk, there is nothing they can do about. The official said they "cannot police morality."
“It’s a bird!”
“It’s a plane!”
“It’s a frog!”
“I’m not a bird or a plane, or even a frog. It’s just little old me....”
Honestly, why don’t some people just move along. It isn’t that distinct. If a child asks, simply answer, “Gee, I don’t know.”
I can't imagine what aircraft anyone there could have used to do this - unless they have a flying club now, and the club has an aircraft equipped with smoke.
Could be contrails which don’t hold together long.
Sheesh.
Simple aerobatics when conditions were right for contrails.
Much angst over nothing.
That’s a good trick, turning contrails on and off.
I guess if the conditions were right and they were paying attention, they could find the precise altitude where conditions were right for it, and then change altitude to either get it or not.
"Mommy? What are these pictures on your phone?"
"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." (Titus 1:15)
Some people see John the Baptist in a piece of burned toast. Others see phalluses in the clouds. It says more about the observer than anything else. Think Rorschach.
1) Persistent contrailing altitude (no NOT chemtrails)
2) That was done by an excellent stick and rudder pilot.
It all started with that old AT&T long distance ad.
I laughed too.
Something about us men. When I was in shop, one of the first things out of the shop instructor’s mouth was “There will be no making of dildo’s in this class.
This was back in the sixties, and apparently that is one of the first things 7th grade boys would commonly do when introduced to shop class.
The closest would be a Growler, but those look tight for a Growler.
LOL, no...that was completely intentional! Not the product of a dirty mind, of which there are many!
Agree. But to MY mind; even though the pilot may have INTENDED to portray truck stop men’s room art, I think that to look up and behold those contrails, and make the leap to seeing male genitals, is a STRETCH. And no pun intended.
As I would say (in my finest drawl): “That there was a prime example of some fine stick and rudder work to portray a man’s private parts in a cloud filled sky!”
I don't care how good of a pilot you are, there are never atmospheric conditions that create such a sharp and dense contrail, but totally disappears with just a few feet of altitude change. And those would be the conditions necessary to instantly start and stop a contrail that precisely.
In order to make that figure in the air, a smoke generation system would have to have been used. Injecting diesel into the exhaust manifold is how skywriters do it.
The Blue Angels (and Thunderbirds, etc.,) do have special smoke generators on their demonstration aircraft, but unless they were visiting NAS Whidbey Island that day, no Navy aircraft made that aerial figure.
,saying she was upset she might have to explain to her young children
She’s upset about something that MIGHT happen, and complained. Well, I’m upset that the company I work for MIGHT be going under, and I won’t be able to pay my mortgage. To whom do I complain?
More like “Reach in your blouse and hitch up your brassiere.”
