U.S. Navy crew grounded after pilot draws penis in the sky
The U.S. Navy air crew was grounded after using their advanced fighter jet to draw a giant image of a penis in the sky.
The incident took place in skies
over Okanogan County in Washington state , when a Navy E/A-18 Growler warplane
flew the unusual air pattern.
Images of a condensed air trail in
the shape of a penis immediately went viral on social media. A local television
station said one mother in Okanogan County was concerned she might have to
explain them to her young children.
The Navy, which is trying to crack
down on sexual assault in its ranks, issued a formal apology for what it called
an “irresponsible and immature act.”
“Sophomoric and immature antics of a
sexual nature have no place in Naval aviation today,” Vice Admiral Mike
Shoemaker, the commander of Naval Air Forces, said in a statement.
“We will investigate this incident
to get all the facts and act accordingly.
