This pilot got fired for this low level fly-by

[delanvital]

From the Danish newspaper politiken.dk,



The pilot got fired, apparently he was highly experienced... I wonder if he had passengers on the plane. This was in Washington.

[Blunt]

He did have passengers....they were senior executives of Cathay Pacific.

From the article they said it was on Youtube... found this very poor video

I wonder if one of the VIPs went "I dare you to do blah blah.... I will pay you blah blah..."

[Liberator]

The Register, says he had clearance from the tower but not his bosses.

Co-pilot is suspended for 6 months.

that sort of things only works twice, and they both happend in top gun allready
unlucky pilot, skillz he had!

Yeah, I don't think one of the passengers was very happy about the fly-over and took it out on the pilot. Since the passengers were his bosses they can hit back hard.
