the urban legend that got done to death some years ago in the skydiving
group...

I don't know the US regs but I rather suspect they're like ours and
unlicensed illegal interfering with an aircraft carries a large fine
and jail time..

§ 91.11 Prohibition on interference with crewmembers.

No person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a
crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an
aircraft being operated.



Don't know what the penalty would be, but it it's in the FAR's...
