nigelh I think some people are still on the path of "stressing" the aircraft looking at recent posts, hence Crab's re-iteration.

There is so little information about this video, so few facts, I would not want to condemn the pilot on what we have in front of us.

The video captured the manouevre from a spectacular point of view. More importantly it seemed to predict exactly where the aircraft would appear and what it would do, without hesitation. Either incredibly fortunate for the camera man ... or they were in on it.

If it was a pre-briefed requested manoeuvre does that make a difference?

If my daughter requested her boyfriend wheelie away so she could film it, then my reaction would be different than if he just did it spontaneously.
