Nag Nag Nag,

It was an air show demonstration in the third world in a more golden age.

In those great days before the nanny society showed up, the chief pilot would have smirked for the record and said: "Don't do that again" and then bought them both a beer in the bar.

But here in the great government pushbutton world of tomorrow, most pilots couldn't hand fly their way out of a wet paper bag if their lives depended on it (which is pretty much the danger pax face today every time the autopilot fails).....
