ATLANTA (AP) — Four Georgia-based pilots are restricted from flight duties after their attack jets swooped low over a football stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, as the Carolina Panthers practiced, U.S. Air Force officials said.
Four A-10C Thunderbolt IIs flew at low altitude over Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Monday, and the pilots will be on restricted duty pending results of an inquiry into the incident, officials at Moody Air Force Base in south Georgia said.
[...] the pilots from the Georgia base on Monday were "conducting routine navigation training from Charlotte to Moody" and were not participating in the Air Force's partnership with the NFL to provide flyovers, the statement said.
