I have to doubt it. Most likely pilot trash trying to scam hazard pay.
CalFire was making these claims as well, and they hide 1/2 billion dollars offshore to make the claim of being broke to pass the Fire Fee in California.
People these days are such numbnuts and use any excuse to bitch and moan trying to make themselves feel better.

How come these pilots don't have video of these near misses?
Because they are making things up...
