Skydiving instructor by day, porn-star by night Alex Torres, is under investigation by the FAA after publishing a video of himself on his personal website having sex with a coworker while skydiving.

“Skydive Taft” owner David Chrouch said he learned of the incident after officers visited his office and asked him about the video that somehow was leaked and went viral after airing. 

Torres allegedly told the pilot he had been authorized to perform the sex stunt.  Chrouch said that is a lie Torres made up in order to capture the attention of radio personality Howard Stern.

Alex Torres has been fired from “Taft,” and his female co-worker, Hope Howell reprimanded. They do not face criminal charges, as everyone involved was of age, and engaging in sexual intercourse on a plane and midair is not a crime, unless someone complains about public indecency, something Torres was able to avoid by jumping early in the morning.

Chrouch asserted that the pilot was focused on flying the entire time, and at no point seemed to lose control of the plane, so there were no violations of Federal Aviation regulations.

The FAA however, is concerned that the foreplay in Alex Torres shenanigans—which happened while Torres and “Skydive Taft” receptionist Hope Howell were still onboard the small aircraft, might have distracted, jostled or bumped the pilot flying the vessel, which is a violation of Federal Aviation regulations.

Toward the beginning of the video, Torres and Howell are seen getting jiggy with it in a jump seat next to the pilot, just prior to jumping off, and then continue the act in midair.
