Disclaimer: yes, yes, air shows are best performed over less forbidding terrain and not over people. And no, I don't fly like that myself, although I do enjoy a good pirouette at IGE heights from time to time.
Let's not insult Dennis like that by comparing him to this gent.
A farmer flying his own Robinson to impress some of his boozed friends is a long way from a planned and rehearsed display.
Another sterling advertisement for Robinson owners.
