OMG!
I never ever thought i'd agree with the common sense nigelh has been stating on this topic AND disagree with Crab. WTF?
You've changed crab!
The manouevre was smoothly executed, beautifully caught on camera and may or may not have technically gone aerobatic.
BUT the pilot was a ******** for executing a manouevre inappropriate to the conditions prevailing.
He was almost certainly showing off, naive for being filmed in such an embarrasing situation and most definitely not operating within a safe flight regime should something even relatively minor have gone wrong like a bird strike or woe betide - more serious like a wire strike.
Nil points for professionalism. If he'd been employed by me he'd be sacked before he RTB'd.
TW*T. Methinks.
