If someone else had been driving they would have been roundly abused on this forum, if they had tried this without having the necessary experience. However, Dennis has done over 1100 displays, is certified by the CAA as a display pilot and if you had bothered to look at any of his displays he has incredible talent and had provided a spectacular and SAFE show for many years. Anyone who flies makes mistakes of various magnitudes and when you operate as close to the edge as he does, it is amazing that it has not happened before. It is just another testament to his skill and professionalism that it has not.
Dennis admits he made a mistake, we all make them. I am very relieved that he escaped harm so that I can, hopefully, one day see his show personally, I hope he carries on doing them.
Dennis has a great attitude and remarkable skill. As a role model, I could find worse.
