I'm sure he talks b@llocks, too.
Aerobatics are not inherently dangerous, low level flying is not inherently dangerous - both need far more preparation, currency and caution than straight and at FL45.
I don't low fly - but several times a week F15s and RAF jets scream over my strip at 250' - is it dangerous? No! Is it a bloody nuisance and does it frighten my livestock? Yes.
I flew three times this evening - once on my own aerobatting down to 500' whilst finalising my DA approval sequence. The other two trips were with pax - one a S&L "tour of the bay" at 1800', the other an intro to basic positive aerobatic maneouvers at 4000'+
None of the above was as dangerous as moving a particularly fractious bull or even a Saturday night out in Norwich's Riverside.
This thread is reverting to type - some folk want to be mini-airline captains driving their spamcans, others LEGALLY try and explore different facets of aviation.
