Added DiffLines:

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Bodie and Chopper decide to have fun doing a "barrel roll" of their plane. They're shocked a friend posts video of it but figure since their faces aren't seen "no one will know it's us." Cue Wheezer announcing the planes are grounded because he recognized their voices and the plane used.


Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Bodie and Chopper indulge in some daredevil tactics on an empty plane. When Wheezer finds out, he first has to ground all the planes to check for stress damage from an unauthorized maneuver, which costs them business and puts patients at risk. He chews the pair out for jeopardizing any future contracts the company needs and revokes their flight privileges.
