Flight that created famous SkyDick based on Whidbey Island…
With fuel running low, the jet returned to Whidbey Island.
Back on the ground, the deputy commodore of Electronic Attack Wing Pacific soon contacted the squadron, looking for the executive officer, or XO.
The XO confirmed that there had been squadron jets in the area of the sky penis that afternoon, according to the investigation.
“(The deputy commodore) emailed pictures of the phallic-shaped object that were taken from the ground” to the XO.
When the XO asked the lieutenants if anything unusual had happened during their flight that day, the two immediately fessed up and apologized, according to the report.
“(One lieutenant) stated that he deleted the sky drawing photographs from his phone out of shame and as an attempt at damage control to prevent further accidental spread of the photographs,” the investigator wrote.
“They both apologized and were at once remorseful,” the XO wrote in a summary.

A 63-year-old Everett man died when the airplane he was flying crashed just north of the Whidbey Island airfield in Langley.
His passenger was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Firefighters had to cut their way through thick woods to reach the two-seat, experimental plane that crashed just north of the airfield on Whidbey Island. In fact, the woods are so dense, they said they couldn't even find the crash scene by themselves. They needed help from a plane carrying friends of the two people involved in this crash.
