Unfortunately I don't know the pilot, so I am therefore not at liberty to comment on his flying skills or ability.
What is however rumoured in this forum, is the fact that no authority or approval was granted by either the SACAA or Bell to execute these manouvers. Surely, a pilot of this man's calibre would have thought clearly about his actions or his intended actions, and ensured that all was above board? (Clearances, approvals, possible emergency, escape routes etc.)
It will be really interesting to see what action the SACAA intends taking against this pilot, if any.
Gunnzzz, maybe you can entice the pilot to post his version of events here for us.
I must admit that I am not a big 407 fan, but what is undoubtly true, is the fact that the pilot executed these manouvers, and lived for all of us to tell his tale. Interesting! So maybe I should re-evaluate my thoughts on the 407.
