The difference I see with this situation Vs an accident or incident is this was a blatantly planned disregard for the flight manual, including the misleading of the authorities proir to the demonstration...not just a hard landing to inspect.
I completely agree with Bell, I'd immediately remove the aircraft from service, remove the pilot's licences, and seek legal compensation for the losses.
If this aircraft does come apart in the next while and kills 7 innocent persons..then what ????
Here's a question Stan...would you care to inspect, re-certify and sign this airframe off as OK ??? Big responsibility !
