Wakeup Call: The FAA would prefer that you didn’t have sex while skydiving (video)

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a skydiving stunt over Bakersfield, CA, in which a couple had sex on a plane next to the pilot, then continued the act in midair. The FAA is trying to determine if the pilot may have been distracted, or “jostled,” by the naughty shenanigans, which would be a violation of federal regulations.

You’re probably making your own cockpit joke right now so I won’t bother.

At any rate it all seems to be the work of part-time skydiving instructor and porn star Alex Torres, and Skydive Taft company receptionist Hope Howell.

NBC station KGET-TV in Bakersfield reported that Chrouch said that Torres put the stunt together in an attempt to get the attention of Howard Stern. “Apparently they told my pilot it was OK to do this. And got here early in the morning before anyone got here and shot this,” Chrouch told KGET.

Authorities say Torres had posted the video on his blog but removed it on Monday. Chrouch said he found out about the stunt when a Taft police officer told him that the video was making the rounds at a local school.

Nice.

“Part-time skydiving instructor and porn star” always dresses up a resume.
