We do flour bombing contests - which are a hoot. Where you try to get five pound bag of flour into a target.

And toilet paper cutting races - where you drop a roll of TP from the plane and cut it with your wing as it unravels.

What these boys did was typical adolescent pranks gone bad. The Darwin People should keep an eye on both of these gents - they will certainly do something spectacular again soon. If it wasn't a plane - it would have been something else.

I had forgotten all about that fun activity. Next time my wife and I go flying, we must take along a roll of TP.

My boss and his friends used to make bombing runs with bowling balls against abandoned barns. Living in the country does have some advantages. I think his funniest experiment was to mount Estes model rockets onto his Piper Super Cub and make aerial attacks upon isolated targets around the area.

Since nobody was injured in the episode under discussion, other than flying too low over a populated area, what FAA regulations were violated? Legally, trying to prove the actual altitude of the aircraft may be a little difficult.
