There was another letter that continued this topic.

To his credit, the complainant, Mr. MacRae, tendered a written
apology which was published in The Republic on 9 July:

[...]
I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have
insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known.
[...]
I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran.

Anyone else have trouble reconciling these two statements?

Hey, Neil!

Ever heard of a dude by the name of John McCain?

He's running for president, ya know!

{Ignorance is bliss}

Hey Matt!!

What does that have to do with the question at hand: what Vet wouldn't
know the significance of a flyby formation???
