Four Georgia-based jet pilots who buzzed Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, are restricted from flight duty while the incident is reviewed, U.S. Air Force officials said.

The Panthers were practicing Monday when the A-10 "Warthog" attack jets swooped low, alarming some inside and outside the stadium.

The statements released by the Air Force and FAA include no indications that the pattern was full

That's it. I'm not standing for the national anthem now.

I am offended and triggered by their micro-aggressions.

Pretty funny, I know a couple of those pilots... I'm told it's being blown out of proportion, but the video says otherwise

They waited 20 years to be able to use that in an article

Too late to worry at that point.

This.

And I love watching A-10's fly. I would gladly "get alarmed" by them. It would make my day.

One of the coolest thing I have ever seen was two A10s flying from North to south over the Causeway. I was heading from the south going north so I was driving towards them.

It was so cool and intimidating the were on each side of the bridge I knew they could take out everything if they wanted to

Yet they're trying to get rid of the a-10? Clearly the enemy still fears them.

Saw them fly over my house enroute to the stadium. Pretty awesome.

I have a confession to make.

Although I know all the references, I've never actually seen Top Gun.

The way they can bank makes it look like they "pause" in the air then complete the turn for another round of asskicking

military folklore says the plane was called the, "Devil's Cross" by the Soviets because it looked like a traditional orthodox cross when banking.

How awesome would it be if they could fill the cannon with blanks and go "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR_IP" while flying over a stadium?
