Now, why did I find myself wishing that the video would end in a huge fireball in some remote field?
 
Darwin's theory will surely catch up to this ape someday. I just hope there are no innocent bystanders when it happens.
 
According to those in the know, he's now an RJ captain at a regional.
 
It seems pilots nowadays need to get in touch with their roots. I think most have no idea what a dare devilish profession an aviator's used to be. This guy/girl is nothing more than a throw back to the early days of on the road flying shows and barn stormers; unfortunately trapped in today's RJ/SJS/Autopilot/Autothrottle laden world. I think this video is more evidence of this person's stick and rudder skills than a violation. Now let's go crawl behind our bullet-proof cockpit doors and sip our lattes.

I hear ya, CM. But this fellow thought to conduct his bravado maneuvers in what appears to be a very populated area at times. Yankin' and bankin' like that at low altitude is a recipe for someones death. His aerial theatrics are reminiscent of a young pilot tryin to put hairs on his chest.

(...and yeah, it does look fun. :D )

This isn't 1925.

If this guy did this in an appropriate area and in an appropriate airplane, by all means.

Otherwise, he's just an idiot.

What's so spectacular about this guys airmanship anyway? Nothing.
 
This video is VERY old news.
 
Dangerous and stupid are not virtues in aviation.

We can only hope that he doesn't kill someone else because of he's a knucklehead. I also hope that aircraft was not a rental that somebody else unwittingly flies after he's torn the sh** out of it.

You don't videotape stunt flying unless you want people to see your handiwork. This guy is a first class tool because 1) he's desperate for attention 2) he's endangering the lives of those below him and 3) the plane he used belongs to his former employer.
