Some people on here really need to go out and get a life!!

So what eh? The pilot made a mistake whoopy doo. It's not the first time an airshow almost came to an end because of one. I was not 50 yards away from an E3D that opened and almost closed a recent Waddo airshow. Yep the pilot screwed up but yet his skill recovered the situation..

I was also unfortunate enough to be on a Herc in an orchard in Herefordshire due to a pilots mistake. 115 degrees angle of bank 250 feet nose dropped. Yes we were IN it not over it!! But again the Pilots skills got us out of it. Although I suspect that apple tree never recovered! Had a picture been taken that day it would have been almost identical to the typhoon one!

Flying is extremely dangerous, an occupational hazard you see, fact of life.

Give the guy a break he will be having nightmares and cold sweats for the rest of his life in payment.. Move on.
