To those of you who think the pilots were skillfully executing a maneourvre practiced in the simulator, I ask you this.
What would you be writing here if he had made the turn a few metres lower and clipped the wing on the ground?
What would you be writing if it had been a few more metres lower and the aircraft cartwheeled into a rolling ball of flaming debris?
You would be conspicuous by your absence, I'm sure.
The pilots and those who think it was a wonderful piece of display flying, are genuinely misguided. The crew handling the aircraft, and anyone who apparently authorised it, are complete and utter idiots.
The pilots should be sacked and grounded permanently and the guy who authorised it, if indeed he did, should be on the street, jobless.
How any rational person, let alone a pilot, can look at that display of utter lunacy and say, well done, is sadly misinformed, ignorant or just plain stupid.
