Not like there's any VFR traffic at low altitude over beaches and/or just offshore.
What I'm pointing out this that this is a pattern of behavior. That alone justifies yanking his waiver if he has one. If he doesn't have a waiver, then why is he being permitted by others (also presumably AMA members since they're flying at a field that requires it)? That my friend is a safety culture problem. Not just with the individual (he's the most egregious example though), but by all those who stood by and did nothing.
Oh no I caught the video vigilantism....., all duly noted. Perhaps we'll figure out who stood next to him and allowed this to happen, and turn them in as well (assuming they are AMA members). This could lead to a new position in Muncie, someone to watch video submissions and do an NCIS level investigation to track folks down to see if they are AMA members.
We can all be deputized, might even get new shirt pins.
