Well said. I don't understand why they risked flying so low around the ridge, when anyone can do that in a more manouverable modern airplane too. It's the aircraft sights, the sounds,, the smell that these vintage aircraft operators must provide in a very safe manner. Taking an old and somewhat performance limited aircraft onto a dangerous flight path just to show that hole in the ridge, which looks exactly the same from a C-182 or a DA42 or a King Air does not make sense to me at all. That low flying task in the mountans had no relevance to the vintage status of the aircraft.
