Marines who drew phallic flight pattern in sky grounded
By LUIS MARTINEZ Nov 6, 2018, 6:37 PM ET
The Marine Corps has grounded two aviators who were involved in flying a phallic-shaped flight pattern over California last month.
The flight pattern was drawn during a Marine training flight over Southern California’s Salton Sea, south of Palm Springs, on Oct. 23., officials said.
The phallic-shaped pattern gained notoriety on the internet after it was posted on Twitter by an aviation enthusiast who detected it using flight-tracking software.
The Marines quickly determined that the aircraft was a T-34C training aircraft assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, in Miramar, California, and said an investigation was underway “to uncover the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident.”
