My father spent most of his 30 year career at Mc Donnell Douglas on the F15 as a S.M.A.R (sheet metal assembler/riveter). I believe he once said he trimmed the speed brake on ship number 1.

What was risky about it?
The aircraft was clearly waterborne well past the point that it passed under the bridge, so it was operating under the boating regulations for that river.
Best guess, using the plane as a reference, is that the bottom of the bridge was about 50 ft above the water.
Looks like another case of someone at the Oregonian posting something that they know nothing about without bothering to do any checking first. Must have been a slow news day.
Actually, I drive a silver-gray Audi A4. I bought that VW a while back as a gift for my son. It was his very first car. The brat "sold" it back to me three years ago (even though the car was still in my name, but I wanted to help him) and bought a newer, allegedly "better" car (a 2021 Mazda 4).
I have the VW parked in my garage and start its motor every few weeks or so to keep it functional. And I don't want to sell it because nobody is willing to pay what I think it's worth. As you can see, the paint job is impeccable. And every original feature still works. It's also got brand new upholstery that makes it smell like a new car inside, Plus insurance is really cheap!
