He's grounded.

Yea he got in some trouble for that. It was pretty cool and dumb of him at the same time. He'd have been better off going straight up or something IMO.

Nothing great about this at all, the guy just plain screwed up a simple fingertip formation.  Looks like he got sucked and dumped his nose for speed to close up, got too fast, overshot the rendevous and had to barrel roll to keep from shooting out in front.  He never got close to where he belonged.  Good thing he got grounded, they should send him back to basic formation training.

A Vermont Air National Guard pilot who took part in a flyover of Fenway Park during opening day ceremonies has been grounded for making an improper maneuver near the park, a Guard spokesman said Thursday.

The F-16 pilot flew under and over the other three F-16s in the formation at about 1,200 feet over Boston on Tuesday afternoon because he was going too fast and was late joining the formation, Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Lloyd Goodrow said.

“It is a legitimate maneuver. It is normally done at 5,000 feet or above,” Goodrow said. “The crowd loved it, but it was not a planned maneuver.”


“The pilot has been grounded, not as a punishment but so we can provide remedial training in tactics and procedures so this situation does not happen again,” Goodrow said. “He might have made other choices to rejoin the formation.”
