The Federal Aviation Administration has revoked pilot certificates for two men involved in a Red Bull plane-swapping stunt that ended in a crash over the Arizona desert.
"I made the personal decision to move forward with plane swap. I regret not sharing this information with my team and those who supported me," Aikins wrote.Aikins and his cousin Andy Farrington flew separate single-engine Cessna 182 airplanes up to 14,000 feet as part of a stunt to promote the energy drink company. They tried to switch planes as the aircraft descended.. The pilot was able to parachute out safely. The second pilot regained control of the other plane and landed safely.
Aikins had petitioned for an exemption from the rule that pilots must be at the helm with safety belts fastened at all times. He argued the stunt would "be in the public interest because it would promote aviation in science, technology, engineering and math."Red Bull, known for organizing wild promotional stunts, said in a statement it looks forward to continuing to work with Aikins.
