Troy faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison if convicted of causing the displacement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft. Now, Rosemary, I assume you have seen this, being the YouTube star that you are. You have seen this video of them shooting off Roman candles from this helicopter? Rosemary Barnes: It hasn't come up in my suggested videos, no. Allen Hall: I've seen it like 12 times. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I've seen it and it's awesome. I feel bad for these guys. They created a cool video. But if you go by the letter of the law, there's a lot of things illegal about this.

He got six years. These guys can probably expect a little more than six. Allen Hall: Wow. Don't mess around with airplanes. I think that's the whole point of this is don't do stupid stuff around airplanes. They're not toys, boys and girls.
