The FAA official said the agency couldn’t do anything and that it “cannot police morality.”

Naval aviators are responsible for drawing a penis in the sky
over Okanogan County, Wash., Navy officials said.
Residents of Okanogan County spotted the drawings in the sky
Thursday, and some documented the phallic art on Twitter.
Officials with the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Oak
Harbor, Wash., confirmed to
KREM 2 News that Navy pilots were responsible for the
drawings.
“The Navy holds its aircrew to the highest standards and we find
this absolutely unacceptable, of zero training value and we are
holding the crew accountable,” Navy officials said in a
statement.
One mother who took photos of the skywriting and spoke to the TV
station said she was upset at the prospect of explaining the
image to her children.
The Federal Aviation Administration, when the station
reached out for comment, said they’re powerless to act unless the
incident poses a safety risk. An official also said the agency
“cannot police morality.”
