The Federal Aviation Administration says it will look into a videotaped skydiving sex stunt to determine if the pilot might have been distracted during the incident over Kern County.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says any activity that could distract the pilot while he's flying could be a violation of federal regulations.
Skydive Taft owner David Chrouch says he fired part-time skydiving instructor and porn star Alex Torres and hasn't decided whether to fire the company's receptionist, Torres' partner in the video.
The video shows the two having sex in a plane before jumping out in tandem and continuing the act midair.
Authorities say Torres had posted the video on his blog but removed it on Monday.
Taft police Lt. Ed Whiting told KGET-TV in Bakersfield that no criminal charges are pending.

Re: Pilot distracted by sex?
The story has a radio angle -- the two were hoping to parlay the stunt into an appearance on the Howard Stern show. Ronnie Mund (of Howard Stern show fame and who was as gracious as could be when I met him while working up at Sirius in NYC in 2006) linked to some pics from the skydiving stunt on his Twitter feed several weeks ago.
