More common than you might think. Main issue here was it showed up on YouTube.
I'm a little desensitized, I guess. My office is less than 100 yards from an active military runway...

Boeing didn't fire Tex Johnson for doing a barrel roll in the 707 prototype: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ546BEps-M
Too bad this guy got fired for doing a simple touch-and-go minus the touch.
But I'm desensitized too. I grew up in airplanes.
