Unreal.

Australian army chopper crew stood down over lewd sign at Indy race

The more things change, the more things stay the same. The sad part is that these guys are the cream of the crop, the elite, Australia's finest, and are probably feted and honored in "private", where the media can't see it. They only did it because they truly thought they'd get away with it - that's where the real problem is.

It also gives you an idea of how unbelievable the terror threat level there really is - if the guys charged with protecting them are hovering about looking for tits, how bad can the real threat be? Obviously it's not imminent, and is just an overblown effort by their government to placate a few irritating whiners. Hence the bored crew and silly antics. If they were really afraid of terrorists attacking the event, they'd definitely be looking for missiles and rifles, not tits. Or maybe, the terrorists are using the bare tits as cover for their insidious plots, and those tits really did warrant a second, third, fourth, and fifth looksie. Good Job guys! Don't let those terrorists get away with exploiting Australian tits!

You don't see Israeli pilots hovering around asking women to show them their tits, that's for sure. Those guys have real work to do.

GOLD COAST, Australia (AFP) - An Australian army helicopter crew has been stood down for displaying a lewd sign at bikini-clad spectators during last month's Gold Coast Indy Champcar race.

A defence spokesman confirmed crew members of the army Iroquois had been suspended from flying duties after hovering near apartment balconies and displaying a sign reading "show us your tits."

At the time, the crew were supposed to on the lookout for potential terrorists as part of heightened security for the car race.

The helicopter and the offending sign were snapped by a specator on one of the balconies and posted on the Internet.

The Army said the helicopter crew's behaviour was "totally unacceptable".

Spectator Sue Ferguson told Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper that the helicopter flew between two high-rise apartment buildings on the Queensland state tourist strip.

"There were lots of girls on the balconies in bikinis," she told the newspaper. "It was obvious that the crew were trying to get a closer look. They hovered down to the third storey and just sat there."

Ferguson, 38, said she was knocked to her feet by flying debris thrown up by turbulence from the helicopter's rotors as she watched the race from street level. "It was a freak accident caused by their stupid behaviour," she said.
