You're correct. He made a giant idiot of himself by behaving so stupidly, bust a shed load of rules and limits and should have known much better.
He was on his last day and wound himself in too deep trying to make it memorable.
Stupid stupid stupid.
Worse he tried to cover it up (after such stupidity it's no wonder!)
All I'm saying is I've seen folk who DID wrap the a/c round a hill or similar , killing hundreds, have an easier time on pprune than this clot!
Give the poor geezer a break. He fu*ked up but he got away with it.
Hope he learn't something tho'.
