Many young boys dream of growing up to be pilots. Some of them become pilots without ever giving up being 15 year old boys.
The FAA for their part says “they’re powerless to act unless the incident poses a safety risk.” And furthermore, they “cannot police morality.” There’s no word from the naval aviator’s superior officer at this point, however.

The one ‘special feature’ I enjoy most out of American Express U.S. lounges is the “wine wall” in San Francisco. I never drink wine onboard in domestic first class, and don’t touch the house wines in US airline lounges. I love nice wines but don’t drink for its own sake.

Asking someone to marry you inflight is seriously overdone. El Al even lets you redeem miles for an inflight marriage proposal kit. Getting married on a plane is a little better.
There’s no real reason you have to tie the knot up in the air though. Because if you can clear security, you might as well get married inside your airline’s lounge like Julie Kay & Vince Bonnetti did this morning in Nashville!
