Not quite nanny state, but those waving their pinkies do have a very valid point.

However, considering he was slow, properly set up and rotated before banking, with a low roll rate, I would suggest this Pf was no chump and had a prety good idea how to perform a low energy manouver that looks nice and doesn't put any stress on his aircraft. (Unlike the poor B52 crew who were g'd into the park).....

I've seen a lot worse, from proper test pilots as well.
