Air Force Pilot Flips Jet for Photo Op, Gets Major Break on Damages

An Air Force pilot reportedly performed a risky inverted maneuver just to snap a souvenir photo mid-flight. While the stunt caused damage to the aircraft, the court decided to slash the pilot's liability by 90 percent. The ruling apparently weighed the pilot's past service and financial situation against the reckless nature of the act. It is a rare case where a dangerous 'selfie' attempt met with significant judicial leniency.
