Hi Morane,

I just gave a short summery.
You can read the report in different ways.
They write subsequently it came close to the station to the accident.
I donīt know, how far the station was away from the ships position.
Still, bending (mastmoment) the bird in flight doesnīt give hints to less risky flight after the first "show offs".
My humble guess is, that after the manovers some low flying followed....
But thatīs just a guess with no evidence - just my experience....

Still, RIP and whoever wants to show off, remenber that most accidents are pilot induced.....

Fly safe

Greetings Flying Bull
