RAF Pilot Admits To Taking Women On Joyride

Reprimanded Over "Jolly" Incident

It's a classic tale: Boy meets girl. Boy flies airplanes. Boy takes girl on airplane ride.

A RAF search-and-rescue pilot is now dealing with the consequences, however, after admitting he took two women along for an unauthorized ride in a Sea King helicopter -- all in an effort to impress them.

(Before we go any further, a few of the guys at ANN plead guilty to having done the same thing -- although not in Sea Kings, as none were actually flying for the Royal Air Force at the time -- Ed.)

According to the Daily Telegraph, Lt. Mark Dennis -- a Sea King pilot for 14 years -- told a court-martial board in Devonport, England, that he took his friend Suzy Goodson, and another woman, Lee Scott, on a tree-skimming flight over the mountains of Snowdonia National Park. (Classy -- Ed.)

According to the Telegraph, though, it was nothing the women hadn't seen before -- both Goodson and Scott are members of mountain rescue teams. However, Dennis told the court-martial board the ride was a "jolly for Suzy."

Dennis received a jolly reprimand over the joyride.
