Marine Corps aviators grounded amid investigation into phallic flight pattern
Source: CBS News
Two Marine Corps aviators have been grounded while they're being investigated "for flying a pattern resembling an obscene image" over Southern California, according to a military spokesman.
The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing said last month that a "T-34C aircraft assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, flew an irregular flight pattern over the Salton Sea that resembled a phallic image."
Now, the aircraft crew are not flying pending the results of an investigation, said Maj. Josef Patterson, a spokesman for the 3rd Marine Air Wing, ABC News reported.

Alleged images showing the pattern were posted on Twitter on October 23. The user initially identified the plane as a Navy aircraft but later said it belonged to the Marine Corps.

I would hope that their superiors treat them genitally.

Cocky U.S. pilot draws penis in sky, but navy not amused
WASHINGTON/SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – An air crew who used their U.S. Navy warplane to create a vulgar graffito in the sky above the town of Okanogan, Washington, have been grounded, the navy said Friday.
An electronic warfare plane from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island near Seattle drew the male genitals with its contrails on Thursday.
Many residents of the central Washington town of 2,500 people spotted the scrawl in the clear skies, and images of it immediately went viral on social media. A local television station said one mother in Okanogan County was concerned she might have to explain it to her young children.
