Yesterday I was being driven to TPA to catch a flight back home. From the highway, I noticed a large turbine aircraft climbing out at what seemed like a ridiculously nose-high attitude. It didn't even seem like he could stay airborne at this attitude, but I guess he had the thrust/airspeed to do so. Then, he entered a turn, which also seemed quite steep. I thought, no way are there passengers on that flight. Maybe my perception from the highway was obscured by some optical effect, I don't know. But it really did seem like this pilot was pushing the aircraft far more than necessary. It looked like fun..
So, does the "professional pilot" tend to goof around and have fun when there are no pax???
