it was proper or allowed, but you were in so you know the level of shenanigans that go on.
Hell, I know someone who was an ANG pilot and since he was stationed close by, he used to occasionally land a UH1 behind his moms garden to have a quick visit. You could hear him coming miles away in that damn thing. We used to jump on our dirt bikes and go over there to try getting a close look, but there was always another guy staying with the aircraft and he wouldn't let us anywhere near it. Granted, this was in the 80's and things are far more strict now, but this baloney still happens every day in new and unique forms.
These are young men for the most part, and they get easily bored.
