Every day a poor poor pilot in a tragically underpowered airplane would fly in from North Korea with the one hand held bomb he could carry, and tried rather unsuccessfully to drop it in the M*A*S*H* unit's munitions dump? Ring any bells? Well apparently the spirit of 5 O'Clock Charlie lives on in Westwood, NJ.
The pilot, one Warren Saunders, was practicing a flight path to carry a banner over a football game in Westwood against Mahwah Saturday when for an unknown reason he decided to drop a wet toilet paper rolls near soccer players practicing on a field near the school. While no players were hurt or hit by the teepee shrapnel, Saunders was charged with violating a state aviation statute that prohibits low-flying acrobatic stunts over thickly inhabited areas or public gatherings.
Saunders later said the stunt was well intentioned.
Welcome to Westwood, home of 5 O'Clock Charmin.
