Giant genital graffiti
At one point during McWherter's stint, an oversized penis painted in the blue and gold colors of the Blue Angels adorned the roof of an airplane hangar. The image was so large that it could be seen by satellites and appeared on Google Maps images.
All I can say is Naval Aviators will be who they are.... It is a different time from when I served, which was during an era when the Marine Corps (yes, we are also "Naval Aviators") did not allow females to become aviators or air crew members, and very few women served in front-line squadrons. But, times are now different, women serve at all levels (and even now fly in USMC squadrons), and attitudes and habits must change. I guess the lessons from the 1991 Tail Hook scandal were not well-learned in some circles.
