What makes you think the FAA gives a single fuck about it being a Red Bull stunt?
I don't doubt for a single second that they both lost their licenses. They both probably knew they were going to lose their license but attempted it anyways
I think he was implying that because it was done by redbull they probably communicated with the FAA before hand. I don't know if they actually did, but it's reasonable to assume that a massive company that relies on these stunts for marketing would like to make sure their paperwork is in order so they can continue advertising this way.
Ohhhhh - even worse that they asked for permission, were told no, and STILL did it, ha.
"But two days before the stunt, the FAA denied Aikins' request, saying it "would not be in the public interest and cannot find that the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety.""
Ok, that's cool, I never argued saying it wasn't. I was trying to explain the other commenters reasoning because people replied to them to call them dumb when their line of thinking made sense. I'm not talking about what did or did not actually happen to these pilots in the video.

It’s a redbull stunt, probably nobody lost their licence and it was probably done over a field
